Maine

On June 5, the Board of Pharmacy met for its regular monthly meeting. Of note on the agenda was a discussion of board obligations for permanent pharmacy closures.

Also in Maine, on June 5, the Appropriations Committee voted to remove the Governor’s proposed pharmacy tax of $.70 per prescription from the budget. The budget bill will be moved by the Appropriations Committee upon review of all sections, then sent to both chambers of the legislature for action. A budget is needed before the fiscal year ends June 30.
