SB108 Alabama 2019 Session

Under existing law, a pharmacy technician is required to be registered with the State Board of Pharmacy before performing any pharmacy functions and is required to pay a registration fee

Thereafter, the registration is renewable by the board biannually in odd-numbered years upon payment of a renewal fee. If the pharmacy technician fails to renew the registration, the pharmacy technician is required to pay a penalty of not less than $10 nor more than $20 as set by the board for each lapsed year and is required to pay all lapsed fees, provided the lapsed time of reinstatement does not exceed five years without examination by the board

This bill would delete the five-year limit on the time for reinstatement of the registration of a pharmacy technician without examination by the board and would limit the total penalties and lapsed fees to a maximum of five years

Relating to the State Board of Pharmacy; to amend Section 34-23-131 of the Code of Alabama 1975, relating to the registration of pharmacy technicians; to delete the time limit for the reinstatement of the lapsed registration of a pharmacy technician without examination by the board and limit the penalties and late fees required to be paid to five years.
