The bill, Senate Bill No. 97, amends R.S. 37:1203(B) concerning pharmacist licensure by reciprocity in Louisiana. The key change stipulates that an applicant is not eligible for licensure by reciprocity unless the state or jurisdiction where they were initially licensed also grants reciprocity to pharmacists licensed by examination in Louisiana under similar circumstances and conditions.

This amendment aims to ensure that reciprocity agreements are mutually recognized, thereby enhancing the standards for pharmacist licensure across state lines. The bill reflects a commitment to maintaining consistent qualifications for pharmacists practicing in Louisiana and those coming from other jurisdictions.
