IN RE:
SB1633 by Perry (Relating to the supervision of pharmacist-interns, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy technician trainees by a pharmacist and the provision of pharmacy services through a telepharmacy system; establishing a remote dispensing site license. ), Conference Committee Report

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 bill would amend certain requirements of TSBP to establish rules for the use and the duties of a pharmacy technician and pharmacy technician trainees.
 
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.
