Florida

The Board of Pharmacy has issued a notice announcing a change to a July 27 proposed rule that would amend regulations under FAC 64B16-27 to clarify standards for the supervision of pharmacy technicians, including supervising pharmacist responsibilities and requirements for delegation. The change clarifies language regarding the prohibition on interfering with the supervising pharmacist’s independent professional judgment.

Also in Florida. The Board of Pharmacy has issued a proposed rule that would adopt regulations under FAC 64B16-31 to clarify standards for collaborative practice and test and treat certifications. The rule would specify that licensees are not required to complete the three-hour continuing education related to minor, nonchronic health conditions if the initial certificate was issued fewer than 12 months before the expiration date of the license. Comments and hearing requests are due on October 14, 2020.
