Allows pharmacy technicians to practice in any pharmacy under the supervision of a pharmacist.
New York Assembly Bill A00678 amends the education law to allow registered pharmacy technicians to practice in any pharmacy under the direct personal supervision of a licensed pharmacist. Technicians can assist in tasks such as compounding, preparing, labeling, or dispensing drugs, provided these tasks do not require professional judgment. Professional judgment remains the exclusive domain of licensed pharmacists, who must approve the work of technicians before dispensing any drugs. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
