This bill establishes regulations for the remote practice of pharmacy in Kansas, allowing pharmacies to employ remote workers, including pharmacists, pharmacy interns, and pharmacy technicians. It defines key terms such as "remote practice of pharmacy" and "remote worker," and outlines the responsibilities of pharmacy owners and pharmacists-in-charge in maintaining records and ensuring compliance with privacy and security standards. Pharmacies employing remote workers must display a notice of remote work, maintain records for five years, and ensure that personally identifying information remains confidential.

Additionally, the bill mandates that pharmacies develop a written policy and procedure manual that includes operational procedures, security measures for remote work devices, and protocols for maintaining patient privacy. It specifies training and supervision requirements for pharmacy interns and technicians engaged in remote practice, as well as limitations on the activities that can be performed remotely. Notably, the bill clarifies that hours spent in remote practice by pharmacy interns do not count towards the required intern hours unless supervised in real-time. The provisions of this act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
