Notice of Extension of Emergency Regulation

Title of Regulation: 18VAC110-20. Regulations Governing the Practice of Pharmacy (amending 18VAC110-20-112, 18VAC110-20-276; adding 18VAC110-20-277).

Statutory Authority: §§ 54.1-2400 and 54.1-3307 of the Code of Virginia.

The Governor has approved the request of the Board of Pharmacy to extend the expiration date of the emergency regulation for 18VAC110-20 for six months as provided for in § 2.2-4011 D of the Code of Virginia. Therefore, the emergency regulation is continued in effect through June 14, 2027. This extension is required to avoid a negative impact on pharmacy business practices in Virginia or a delay of patient care due to chain drug store inability to utilize central fill pharmacies to fill prescriptions. The board is currently waiting for the Governor's Office to approve the proposed regulation. The emergency regulation was published in 41:23 VA.R. 2551-2554 June 30, 2025.

Effective Date Extended Through: June 14, 2027.
