Idaho House Bill 17 Summary

• Revises Idaho pharmacy law terminology and regulations, changing references from "act" to "chapter" throughout the Idaho Pharmacy Act and updating definitions to reflect modern pharmacy practices including telepharmacy and centralized pharmacy services.

• Allows nonresident pharmacists and mail service pharmacies to practice into Idaho when properly registered, establishing registration requirements and fee structures for out-of-state operations.

• Extends the board's disciplinary authority to nonresident licensees and registrants for violations of Idaho pharmacy laws or rules, allowing the same penalties as applied to resident practitioners.

• Repeals outdated sections 54-1740 through 54-1748 governing out-of-state mail service pharmacies and replaces them with updated provisions for nonresident facilities registration and telepharmacy across state lines.

• Updates code references in sections 37-3201, 54-1761, 54-4702, and 54-5110 to reference the corrected pharmacy law definitions, particularly the definition of legend drugs in section 54-1705(314).
