HB 145, modernizing the pharmacy practice statutes, passed both the House Labor and Commerce Committee and the House Health and Social Services Committee earlier this year and will carry over and remain active for consideration as 2021-2022 continues next year. The bill defines patient care activities pharmacists may provide and empowers the Board of Pharmacy to regulate those services; empowers the Board of Pharmacy to more effectively regulate pharmacy support staff; and supports reimbursement for health care services by defining those services and including pharmacists in the state’s provider anti-discrimination statute.
