Summary

Existing law, the Pharmacy Law, provides for the licensure and regulation of pharmacies by the California State Board of Pharmacy. Existing law authorizes a pharmacy to furnish dangerous drugs only to, among others, a patient or another pharmacy pursuant to a prescription or as otherwise authorized by law. Existing law requires every pharmacy to establish a quality assurance program to assess errors in dispensing or furnishing prescription drugs. A knowing violation of the Pharmacy Law is a crime unless otherwise specified. This bill would require a pharmacy to report to the board any occurrence known by the pharmacy of a prescription being furnished to a person other than the patient named on the prescription or that patient's representative. The bill would also require the pharmacy to report any adverse reaction that may have occurred as a result of the person to whom the prescription was furnished using the prescribed drug. Because a knowing violation of these requirements would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
