Illinois HB4243 mandates that retail pharmacies receiving 150 or more prescription orders must have a pharmacist or authorized staff present at all.
Illinois HB4243 amends the Pharmacy Practice Act by adding a requirement for retail pharmacies. It defines "retail pharmacy" as a store or place where drugs, medicines, or poisons are dispensed, sold, or offered for sale at retail. The bill requires that any retail pharmacy receiving an average of 150 or more prescription drug orders during its operating hours must ensure that either a pharmacist or authorized supportive staff is present at all times the pharmacy is open for business. This aims to maintain adequate oversight and availability of professional expertise in prescription handling.
