The Board of Pharmacy’s proposed Licensure by Endorsement Rule was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on December 20, 2025. The rule will permanently implement the expedited licensure process required by Act 34 of 2025. NACDS and the Pennsylvania Association of Chain Drug Stores (PACDS) helped advance the law to allow pharmacies to more easily manage increased prescription volume following Rite Aid’s closure.
