The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy by allowing pharmacies owned by a health system to compound and repackage prescription drugs on a nonpatient-specific basis during a declared emergency caused by a natural disaster or terrorist attack. This change is reflected in the insertion of new language that specifies these provisions, which would be added to the existing rules governing pharmaceutical care and drug delivery during emergencies.

Additionally, the bill makes several technical adjustments to the language of the current law, such as changing "one-time" to "onetime" and clarifying that a pharmacist's authority to compound or repackage prescriptions also ends when the declared state of emergency is terminated. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the flexibility and responsiveness of pharmacies in emergency situations while maintaining the existing framework of regulations.
