Pharmacy technicians: supervision.

Abstract

Existing law, the Pharmacy Law, establishes the California State Board of Pharmacy and sets forth its powers and duties relating to the licensing and regulation of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies. Existing law authorizes a pharmacy technician to perform packaging, manipulative, repetitive, or other nondiscretionary tasks only while assisting, and while under the direct supervision and control of, a pharmacist. Existing law prohibits a pharmacy with only one pharmacist from having more than one pharmacy technician performing those tasks and prohibits the ratio of pharmacy technicians performing those tasks for any additional pharmacist from exceeding a 2 to 1 ratio, except as specified. This bill would instead authorize a pharmacy with only one pharmacist to have up to 4 pharmacy technicians performing those tasks and would prohibit the ratio of pharmacy technicians performing those tasks for any additional pharmacist from exceeding a 4 to 1 ratio.
