California AB529 allows pharmacists to dispense dangerous drugs without a prescription during emergencies and permits pharmacy relocations.
California AB529 amends the Business and Professions Code to allow pharmacists and clinics to dispense dangerous drugs or devices without a prescription during federal, state, or local emergencies to protect public health. It also permits the relocation of pharmacies destroyed or severely damaged by natural disasters or emergencies, provided they follow regulations and notify the board. The bill allows mobile pharmacies or clinics to operate in affected areas if they meet specific conditions, including having a licensed professional on site and maintaining security measures.
