Members can now bring out-of-state pharmacists into their Pennsylvania stores to help with the high demand for new prescriptions due to pharmacy closures. On July 7, Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) signed Act No. 34 of 2025, which allows the Board of Pharmacy to issue a temporary provisional endorsement license to pharmacists licensed and in good standing in another state. An applicant seeking licensure under the act will not be required to demonstrate substantial equivalency or work experience. The act will expire 180 days from July 7. Further details and the provisional license application have been posted on the board’s website.
