Senate Bill 56, sponsored by Roberts, proposes amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning the board of pharmacy. Specifically, it deletes subdivision (9) from Section 4-29-246(a), which may pertain to the qualifications or functions of the board. Additionally, the bill introduces a new subdivision in Section 4-29-250(a) that explicitly recognizes the board of pharmacy, as established by Section 63-10-301.

The bill aims to streamline the legal framework surrounding the board of pharmacy by removing outdated provisions and clarifying its establishment within the state code. The changes are intended to enhance the governance and regulatory oversight of pharmacy practices in Tennessee. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the proposed changes for public welfare.
