Arizona

Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) vetoed SB (Senate Bill) 1248, legislation repealing several components of the sunrise process for scope expansion, including pharmacy. 

Also in Arizona, on March 6, SB 1254 (Senate Engrossed), legislation repealing the requirement for a Schedule II opioid prescription that is directly dispensed by a pharmacist and that is not for the immediate administration to the ultimate user to have a red cap, failed to pass the House Health and Human Services Committee by a 3-4 vote.
