|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning regulations.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Pharmacy Practice Act is amended by | 5 | | changing Section 15 as follows:
| 6 | | (225 ILCS 85/15) (from Ch. 111, par. 4135)
| 7 | | (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2023)
| 8 | | Sec. 15. Pharmacy requirements. | 9 | | (1) It shall be unlawful
for the owner of any pharmacy, as | 10 | | defined in this Act, to operate or conduct
the same, or to | 11 | | allow the same to be
operated or conducted, unless:
| 12 | | (a) It has a licensed pharmacist, authorized to | 13 | | practice pharmacy
in this State under the provisions of | 14 | | this Act, on duty whenever the
practice of pharmacy is | 15 | | conducted;
| 16 | | (b) Security provisions for all drugs and devices, as | 17 | | determined by
rule of the Department, are provided during | 18 | | the absence from the licensed
pharmacy of all licensed | 19 | | pharmacists. Maintenance of security provisions
is the | 20 | | responsibility of the licensed pharmacist in charge;
and
| 21 | | (c) The pharmacy is licensed under this Act to conduct | 22 | | the practice of pharmacy in any and all forms from the | 23 | | physical address of the pharmacy's primary inventory where |
| | | HB0585 | - 2 - | LRB102 03828 SPS 13842 b |
|
| 1 | | U.S. mail is delivered. If a facility, company, or | 2 | | organization operates multiple pharmacies from multiple | 3 | | physical addresses, a separate pharmacy license is | 4 | | required for each different physical address.
| 5 | | (2) The Department may allow a pharmacy that is not | 6 | | located at the same location as its home pharmacy and at which | 7 | | pharmacy services are provided during an emergency situation, | 8 | | as defined by rule, to be operated as an emergency remote | 9 | | pharmacy. An emergency remote pharmacy operating under this | 10 | | subsection (2) shall operate under the license of the home | 11 | | pharmacy.
| 12 | | (3) The Secretary may waive the requirement for a | 13 | | pharmacist to be on duty
at all times for State facilities not | 14 | | treating human ailments. This waiver of the requirement | 15 | | remains in effect until it is rescinded by the Secretary and | 16 | | the Department provides written notice of the rescission to | 17 | | the State facility.
| 18 | | (4) It shall be unlawful for any person, who is not a | 19 | | licensed pharmacy
or health care facility, to purport to be | 20 | | such or to use in name, title,
or sign designating, or in | 21 | | connection with that place of business,
any of the words: | 22 | | "pharmacy", "pharmacist", "pharmacy department",
| 23 | | "apothecary", "druggist", "drug", "drugs", "medicines", | 24 | | "medicine store",
"drug sundries", "prescriptions filled", or | 25 | | any list of words indicating
that drugs are compounded or sold | 26 | | to the lay public, or prescriptions
are dispensed therein. |
| | | HB0585 | - 3 - | LRB102 03828 SPS 13842 b |
|
| 1 | | Each day during which, or a part which, such
representation is | 2 | | made or appears or such a sign is allowed to remain
upon or in | 3 | | such a place of business shall constitute a separate offense
| 4 | | under this Act.
| 5 | | (5) The holder of any license shall conspicuously
display | 6 | | it in the pharmacy in which he is engaged in the practice of
| 7 | | pharmacy. The pharmacist in charge shall conspicuously
display | 8 | | his name in such pharmacy. The pharmacy license shall also
be | 9 | | conspicuously displayed.
| 10 | | (6) A pharmacy shall offer a kiosk to dispose of | 11 | | prescription and over-the-counter medications free of charge. | 12 | | (Source: P.A. 100-497, eff. 9-8-17 .)
