Synopsis of Bill as introduced:

   licensed or after the pharmacist's license is  suspended  or  revoked.      
   Provides  that  a pharmacist in charge and an owner of a pharmacy must      
   report within 30 days (instead  of  10)  of  the  date  on  which  the      
   pharmacist in charge ceases to function in that capacity.
