Pharmacies in Mississippi must maintain a maximum ratio of pharmacy technicians to licensed pharmacists.
Mississippi HB1675 mandates that licensed pharmacies maintain a specific ratio of pharmacy technicians to licensed pharmacists. Public pharmacies must not exceed a ratio of five technicians for every one pharmacist on duty, while private pharmacies have a higher limit of twelve technicians for each pharmacist. The State Board of Pharmacy is authorized to enforce these ratios through rules and regulations, but cannot set more restrictive limits. The bill also outlines procedures for pharmacy technician registration, including fees and criminal background checks.
