DE SB180

Reorganizes and modernizes Delaware's Board of Pharmacy statutes, updating definitions to include terms like "compounding," "outsourcing facility," and "patient counseling," while clarifying the Board's primary objective as protecting the public from unsafe practices and anti-competitive conduct.

Establishes new licensing requirements for pharmacists, interns, pharmacies, nonresident pharmacies, wholesalers, manufacturers, and outsourcing facilities, including mandatory criminal background checks and fingerprinting for key personnel.

Significantly increases maximum disciplinary penalties, raising fines for individual pharmacist violations from $500 to $10,000 for first offenses and up to $50,000 for subsequent violations, while setting pharmacy and pharmaceutical establishment penalties at up to $250,000 per violation.

Creates provisions allowing pharmacists licensed in other U.S. jurisdictions to practice in Delaware during declared emergencies or disasters, effective immediately upon enactment.

Streamlines procedures for license renewal, reinstatement, and reciprocity, requiring pharmacists whose licenses lapse for more than 4 years to retake the jurisprudence examination, with Section 1 provisions taking effect one year after enactment.
