TO:
Honorable Four Price, Chair, House Committee on Public Health
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB1633 by Perry (Relating to the provision of pharmacy services through a telepharmacy system; establishing a remote dispensing site license.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Occupations Code relating to the provision of pharmacy services through a telepharmacy system; establishing a remote dispensing site license. The bill would require the Texas State Board of Pharmacy (TSBP) to develop a process for a remote dispensing site to apply for classification as a Class A pharmacy.

The TSBP anticipates any additional work resulting from the passage of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
