Senate Bill 1103 Summary

• Grants the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy executive director authority to void applications with inaccurate information, enter interim consent agreements with licensees posing public health risks, dismiss complaints lacking sufficient evidence, and request court documents from applicants or licensees charged with crimes.

• Establishes disclosure exemptions for pharmacists, pharmacy interns, pharmacy technicians, and trainees to exclude single misdemeanor charges dismissed over 5 years prior, single misdemeanor convictions over 10 years prior, and felony convictions reduced or dismissed over 10 years prior from application requirements.

• Amends pharmacy board powers to charge permittees for requested inspections, issue only one active license per individual, and allow licensees to regress to lower license levels with written explanation.

• Allows pharmacy board to disclose investigative materials to licensees, their attorneys, other state/federal agencies, and law enforcement; clarifies board access to pharmacies during posted business hours rather than unrestricted "reasonable hours."

• Modifies methamphetamine precursor regulations to apply to "permittees" and clarifies that pharmacy board regulations on ephedrine/pseudoephedrine sales are a state preemption issue not subject to local regulation.
