Rulemaking Activities (13-07-435)
The Louisiana Board of Pharmacy published a new edition of the
Louisiana Pharmacy Law Book on April 15, 2013. The electronic version of that reference is available on the “Laws & Rules” page of the
Board’s Web site. For those who wish to purchase a printed copy of the
updated law book, a product order form is also available on that same
page of the Web site.
The Board continues to promulgate new rules as well as revisions to
current rules. The Board sends electronic Notices of Rulemaking Activity
to its clients about these activities.
♦ Regulatory Project 2013-1 ~ Compounding for Prescriber Use. The
Board voted to issue an emergency rule on January 29, 2013, that
places limits on the amount of compounding for prescriber use a
pharmacy may prepare. Since that time, the Board has been working
through the process to develop a permanent rule. During its May
29 meeting, the Board voted to reissue the same emergency rule
to give the Board more time to complete the rulemaking process
for a permanent rule.
♦ Regulatory Project 2013-2 ~ Hospital Off-Site Satellite Pharmacy.
The Board added new language to Chapter 15 of the Board’s rules,
allowing for the establishment and operation of satellite pharmacies
in hospitals, subject to the provisions contained in the new rule.
This new rule became effective on May 20, 2013.
♦ Regulatory Project 2013-3 ~ Pharmacy Technician Training
Programs. The Board published the Notice of Intent in the April
edition of the Louisiana Register and convened a public hearing
on May 30, to receive comments and testimony on the proposed
revision to the current rules.
Finally, you can monitor the progress of all regulatory proposals and
projects by visiting the “Public Library” section of the Board’s Web site,
selecting the “Public Notices” link, and then reviewing the appropriate
links for “Regulatory Proposals” and “Regulatory Projects.
