Senate Bill 1373 - Summary

• Requires persons operating automated prescription-dispensing kiosks to apply to the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy for a permit under section 32-1930.

• Establishes that automated prescription-dispensing kiosks operate as extensions of their responsible pharmacy, which retains control over inventory and billing for dispensed medications.

• Requires applicants to submit a board-prescribed form and obtain a separate permit for each kiosk, with proof of location intent via letter, electronic communication, or formal agreement with the tenant.

• Mandates that prescription labels identify the responsible pharmacy's address, with kiosk location either on the label or in patient materials, and include a prescription number maintained by the responsible pharmacy.

• Grandfathers kiosks approved before August 3, 2018, allowing them to obtain permits using previously submitted documentation and required fees without resubmitting new application information.
