This bill amends K.S.A. 65-1637e to adopt the compounding standards established by the United States Pharmacopeia, specifically the general chapters related to nonsterile and sterile preparations, as well as radiopharmaceuticals. The new language specifies that these standards will be in effect as of the bill's effective date. Additionally, the bill modifies the authority of the board regarding the adoption of rules and regulations for compounding practices, changing the language from "shall" to "may," which provides the board with more discretion in establishing guidelines and exemptions.

Furthermore, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 65-1637e, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous regulations. The new provisions will take effect on July 1, 2027, and the act will be enforceable following its publication in the statute book. This legislative change aims to enhance the standards for pharmacy compounding in Kansas, ensuring that practices align with national guidelines.
