1. Applicability. No person may engage in the practice of pharmacy unless licensed to
practice pharmacy under this chapter, except that a registered pharmacy technician
may perform specific tasks delegated by and under the immediate personal
supervision and control of a licensed pharmacist, as permitted under rules adopted by
the board. Physicians or other practitioners as defined in this chapter who are licensed
under the laws of this state may dispense and administer prescription drugs to their
patients in the practice of their respective professions if specifically authorized to do so
by state law.
2. Penalties. Any person who is found by the board to have unlawfully engaged in the
practice of pharmacy is subject to a fine to be imposed by the board not to exceed one
thousand dollars for each offense. Each violation of this chapter or the rules adopted
under this chapter pertaining to unlawfully engaging in the practice of pharmacy also
constitutes a class B misdemeanor.
3. A pharmacy or licensed pharmacist that utilizes the services of a registered pharmacy
technician as permitted by the board, may not be considered as aiding and abetting an
unauthorized person to practice pharmacy; provided, however, that the pharmacy or
licensed pharmacist must retain responsibility for any act performed by a registered
pharmacy technician in the course of the registered pharmacy technician's
employment.
