(225 ILCS 85/16) (from Ch. 111, par. 4136)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 16. The Department shall require
and provide for the licensure of every pharmacy doing business in this
State. Such licensure shall expire 30
days after the pharmacist in
charge dies or is no longer employed by the pharmacy or after
such pharmacist's license has been suspended or revoked.
In the event the pharmacist in charge dies or otherwise
ceases to function in that capacity, or when the license of the pharmacist
in charge has been suspended or revoked, the owner of the pharmacy
shall be required to notify the Department, on forms provided by the
Department, of the identity of the new pharmacist in charge.
It is the duty of every pharmacist in charge who ceases to function
in that capacity to report to the Department within 30
days of the
date on which he ceased such functions for such pharmacy. It is the
duty of every owner of a pharmacy licensed under this Act to report
to the Department within 30
days of the date on which the pharmacist
in charge died or ceased to function in that capacity and to specify a new pharmacist in charge. Failure to
provide such notification to the Department shall be grounds for disciplinary
action.
No license shall be issued to any pharmacy unless such pharmacy has
a pharmacist in charge and each such pharmacy license shall indicate
on the face thereof the pharmacist in charge.
If a pharmacy temporarily closes for more than 72 hours, it is the duty of the pharmacist in charge and the owner of such pharmacy to report to the Department within 72 hours of temporary closure of a pharmacy. The closing pharmacy must post signage and provide notification to customers. (Source: P.A. 102-882, eff. 1-1-23.)
