Nevada legislature reverses state’s BOP mandate
Assembly Bill 107, enacted by the Nevada Legislature on May 31, 2023, reversed a previous interpretation by the Nevada Board of Pharmacy that mandated out-of-state pharmacists needed to obtain a Nevada pharmacist license when dispensing or compounding prescriptions for Nevada patients.
The bill—which takes effect on October 1, 2023—now clarifies that not every out-of-state pharmacist who dispenses or compounds prescriptions for Nevada patients requires a Nevada licensure. Instead, non-resident pharmacies must provide the name of at least one registered pharmacist practicing at the pharmacy, who will assume responsibility for prescriptions dispensed to Nevada patients and any actions or omissions of unregistered pharmacy personnel.
