BILL NUMBER: S489 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the education law, in relation to conditions of registration for nonresident pharmacies PURPOSE : This bill would require the supervising pharmacist in an out-of-state mail order pharmacy or internet pharmacy to be licensed by the State of New York. The legislation builds upon present law that requires out-of-state pharmacies to register with the State. Adding the supervising pharmacist licensure requirement gives the New York State Education Department (SED) jurisdiction over individuals who are directly responsible for prescription drugs that New Yorkers receive by mail. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1. Amends subdivision 4 of section 6808-b of the education law to add a new condition of registration to non-resident pharmacy establishments, namely that the supervising pharmacist holds a valid New York State issued license. Section 2. Provides the effective date.
