Summary

The bill lets the Alabama Board of Pharmacy allow retail pharmacies to repack, relabel, and store non-controlled prescription drugs for residents in residential care facilities that do not have an on-site pharmacy.

What This Bill Does

It changes the current rule that prohibits repackaging non-controlled drugs. The Board of Pharmacy may set rules that let a retail pharmacy with a valid permit repackage, relabel, and store those drugs for patients living in facilities without a pharmacy on site. The facilities covered include nursing homes, assisted living, and other listed residential care settings.

Who It Affects

• Residents of residential care facilities without an on-site pharmacy, who may receive repackaged and relabeled non-controlled drugs.
• Retail pharmacies with a current retail pharmacy permit, which would operate under the Board's rules to perform repackaging, relabeling, and storage.

Key Provisions

• The Board of Pharmacy may establish by rule protocols allowing a licensed retail pharmacy to repack, relabel, and store non-controlled legend drugs for patients in facilities lacking a on-site pharmacy.
• Residential care facilities are defined to include convalescent homes, nursing homes, extended care facilities, mental health or psychiatric facilities, rehabilitation facilities, developmental disability centers, assisted living facilities, and specialty care assisted living facilities.
• The act becomes effective immediately after it is passed and approved by the Governor.
