The bill amends various sections of South Dakota's pharmacy laws to modernize definitions, licensing requirements, and operational regulations for pharmacies. A significant change allows schools to maintain a stock of epinephrine auto-injectors for emergency use without certain prescription requirements. The bill also revises key definitions related to pharmacy practice, such as "drug administration," "dispensing," and "pharmacy," to align with current standards. Additionally, it introduces new fees for licensing and renewal processes, establishing specific caps on the amounts that can be charged.
Moreover, the bill outlines the responsibilities and qualifications for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, detailing conditions under which licenses may be denied, revoked, or suspended, while emphasizing the importance of good moral character. It mandates that pharmacy licenses must be renewed annually and specifies the consequences of failing to do so. The bill also includes provisions for telepharmacy, requiring reporting of ownership changes and establishing operational standards, while repealing outdated regulations and increasing annual license fees for wholesale drug distributors. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the regulatory framework governing pharmacy practice in South Dakota, ensuring public safety and effective medication management.
