Plain-language change summary

The amended version of SB 32 clarifies that the state Board of Pharmacy must maintain a link on its website to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's list of approved interchangeable biological products. This change is important because it helps ensure that pharmacists and patients have easy access to updated information about biological products, which can improve safety and informed decision-making when it comes to medication options. Additionally, the bill continues to require pharmacists to provide the generic names for equivalent drugs when dispensing non-biological brand-name prescriptions.
