HB4154 amends the Pharmacy Practice Act to change the application and examination process for pharmacists. It requires applicants to submit their applications to the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, either in writing or electronically, accompanied by a non-refundable fee. The Department will notify applicants of their examination results within two weeks of the exam date. Successful applicants can immediately practice pharmacy. For the years 2025, 2026, and 2027, applicants must pass only the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination.
