Governor JB Pritzker (D) has signed SB4018, effective May 13, 2022, this legislation clarifies prescription verification policies for pharmacy technicians and requires pharmacists to deliver proper notification and signage for temporary closures. Pharmacies may engage in remote prescription processing if the pharmacies have the same owner or a written contract describing the scope of services, the pharmacies share a common electronic file, and such an electronic system can produce a record at either location.
