Senate Bill 1100 |
Senate Author: Van de Putte |

Effective: 9-1-13 |
House Sponsor: King, Susan |
Senate Bill 1100 amends the Occupations Code to prohibit a pharmacy from compounding and dispensing a sterile preparation unless the pharmacy holds a license as required by Texas State Board of Pharmacy rule. The bill sets out notification requirements regarding any adverse effects reported to the pharmacy or that are known by the pharmacy to be potentially attributable to a sterile preparation compounded by a pharmacy. The bill prohibits a pharmacy located in another state from shipping, mailing, or delivering to Texas a prescription drug or device dispensed or delivered as authorized by statutory provisions relating to compounded and prepackaged drugs unless the pharmacy meets or is exempt from licensing requirements.
Senate Bill 1100 expands certain licensing and disciplinary procedure provisions to apply to a pharmacy located in another state and a nonresident pharmacy, as applicable, rather than a Class E pharmacy, and requires a pharmacy located in another state that applies for a license to provide any information the board determines is necessary. The bill prohibits license issuance or renewal for a pharmacy that compounds sterile preparations unless the pharmacy has been inspected by the board, authorizes the board to inspect a nonresident pharmacy, specifies the conditions under which an inspection report for such a pharmacy issued by another state's pharmacy licensing board may be accepted as satisfying the inspection requirement, and requires a nonresident pharmacy to reimburse the board for all expenses incurred in inspecting the pharmacy. The bill requires the board to adopt rules necessary to implement the bill's provisions not later than March 1, 2014.
