TITLE 18. PROFESSIONAL AND OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING

BOARD OF PHARMACY

Notice of Intended Regulatory Action

Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Board of Pharmacy intends to consider amending 18VAC110-20, Regulations Governing the Practice of Pharmacy; 18VAC110-21, Regulations Governing the Licensure of Pharmacists and Registration of Pharmacy Technicians; 18VAC110-30, Regulations for Practitioners of the Healing Arts to Sell Controlled Substances; and 18VAC110-50, Regulations Governing Wholesale Distributors, Manufacturers and Warehousers. The purpose of the proposed action is to ensure the board obtains sufficient operating funds for future years. Section 54.1-113 of the Code of Virginia requires the board to adjust fees to ensure that the fees are sufficient but not excessive to cover expenses. Under the current fee structure, the board will carry a negative balance of $688,083 for fiscal year 2026, so amending the regulation will ensure the board has sufficient operating funds.

The agency does not intend to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.

Statutory Authority: § 54.1-113 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Comment Deadline: June 5, 2024.
