When must an in-state or non-resident pharmacy notify the board prior to a planned relocation?

The requirement for an in-state or non-resident pharmacy to notify the board prior to a planned relocation is set at 30 days. This timeframe ensures that the board has adequate notice to process the necessary changes, evaluate compliance with regulations, and update their records accordingly. It is important for maintaining the continuity of pharmacy operations and ensuring that the pharmacy continues to meet all regulatory standards after relocating.

This advance notice period gives the board time to assess the new location for compliance with zoning, safety requirements, and other operational standards that are crucial for the safe practice of pharmacy. Proper notification is a part of the regulatory framework designed to uphold public safety and ensure that pharmacies operate within established laws and guidelines.
