The proposed bill establishes a new section, 381.9811, titled the Medical Spa Prescription Drug Oversight Act, which mandates the licensure of medical spas that prepare, handle, store, administer, dispense, or distribute prescription medications. The bill outlines the responsibilities of medical spas, including maintaining a public database of licensed facilities, ensuring proper storage and security of prescription medications, and designating a responsible person who must be a licensed healthcare provider. It also requires medical spas to notify the Board of Pharmacy of any serious adverse events within five business days and allows for inspections by the board or approved third parties.
Additionally, the bill defines various terms related to medical spas and prescription medications, establishes penalties for non-compliance, and identifies deceptive trade practices related to the misrepresentation of prescription medications. The Board of Pharmacy is tasked with enforcing the provisions of this section, investigating violations, and maintaining a public record of disciplinary actions against medical spas. The board is required to adopt rules to implement these regulations within six months of the bill's effective date, which is set for July 1, 2026.
