Ohio News: Technician Rules Effective
Published in the August 2009 Ohio State Board of Pharmacy Newsletter
On June 21, 2009, three rules dealing with pharmacy technicians became effective. They are rules 4729-4-01 (definitions), 4729-4-03 (qualified pharmacy technician training program), and rule 4729-4-04 (criminal records check for qualified pharmacy technicians). The last rule, 4729-4-02 (board approved examination for qualified pharmacy technicians) was adjusted by the Board in June due to comments received and it was then refiled. It is anticipated that the Board will have made rule 4729-4-02 effective by the time this Newsletter is published. All of the rules that are effective should be included in the listing of all of our Administrative Code rules on the Board’s Web site.
Any employers who wish to prepare and administer their own examinations should note that it will be necessary to have those examinations approved by the Board before they may be used. Instructions for submission of employer-based examinations will be posted on the Web site. Please submit a complete package containing all the items listed on the Web site to avoid delays. Since we anticipate that we will have to review many examinations, it may take a period of time for us to get through them all. The earlier you can submit the examinations, the better, but please be patient.
