The proposed bill amends section 32-1963 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the responsibilities and regulations of the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy. The bill introduces minor language changes, such as replacing "which" with "that" to clarify the standards for drugs and devices sold or dispensed by pharmacies. It also specifies that drugs must meet the official compendium or federal act standards at the time of manufacture, compounding, dispensing, or sale.
Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for providing documents related to the acquisition or disposal of prescription-only drugs and controlled substances. It changes the timeframe within which the proprietor, manager, or pharmacist in charge must provide these documents from "within four working days of" to "within four working days after" receiving a request from an authorized board agent. The term "controlled substance medication" is also updated to "controlled substances," and the language is adjusted to be gender-neutral by replacing "his" with "the authorized board agent's" in reference to the agent's official duties.
