Gov. Laura Kelly (D) appointed two new pharmacists members to the Board of Pharmacy, Joanna Robinson, PharmD, MS, BCSCP, and Janine Ohler, PharmD, BCPS. They will each serve a four-year term and are replacing Jonathan Brunswig, PharmD, and William Walden, RPh, both of whom served eight years on the board.
Also in Kansas, SB 63 which became law earlier this year on February 20, requires in Section 4 that "if a healthcare provider violates the provisions of Section 3 of the law, the healthcare provider has engaged in unprofessional conduct and, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the license of such healthcare provider shall be revoked by the appropriate licensing entity or disciplinary review board with competent jurisdiction in this state".
