Alaska

HB 112, signed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R), requires that Out-of-State Pharmacies be licensed rather than registered by June 30, 2024. 

• If an Out-of-State Pharmacy is currently registered, it will not need to do anything until renewal time, which is scheduled for June 2024.  
• If an Out-of-State Pharmacy is not currently registered, they will need to apply to be licensed rather than registered beginning November 27, 2023. 
• All Internet-based/Online Pharmacies will fall under the same statutory and regulatory requirements as Out-of-State Pharmacies if they want to provide pharmacy services. 
• Beginning November 27, 2023, all licensed Out-of-State Pharmacies must also have a Pharmacist-in-Charge that holds an active Alaska Pharmacist license. Out-of-State Pharmacies that are currently registered and will renew in June 2024 must have a Pharmacist-in-Charge that holds an active Alaska Pharmacist license at renewal time.
