The bill amends section 32-1963 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the responsibilities of pharmacy management regarding the quality of drugs and devices. It clarifies that the proprietor, manager, and pharmacist in charge are responsible for the quality of drugs sold or dispensed, with an exception for those in original manufacturer packages. Additionally, it specifies that no pharmacist or individual may manufacture or dispense drugs that do not meet the standards of strength, purity, and quality as recognized in official compendiums or federal law.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the timeline for providing documentation related to prescription-only drugs and controlled substances. It changes the requirement from providing documents "within four working days of receiving a request" to "within four working days after receiving a request." It also updates the terminology from "controlled substance medication" to "controlled substance substances" and specifies that the documents must be provided if requested by an authorized board agent in the course of their official duties.
