SB2552

Mississippi SB2552 establishes pharmacy technician-to-pharmacist ratio requirements for licensed pharmacies.

Mississippi SB2552 amends the Mississippi Code to establish specific pharmacy technician-to-pharmacist ratios for licensed pharmacies. Public pharmacies must maintain a ratio of no more than five technicians for every pharmacist, while non-public pharmacies can have up to twelve technicians per pharmacist. The Mississippi Board of Pharmacy is authorized to adopt rules ensuring compliance with these ratios. Supportive personnel not performing pharmacy technician functions are excluded from the ratio. Pharmacies can exceed the ratios if all additional technicians are nationally certified.
