TSBP pulls rules for reconsideration
 

We're pleased to tell you the Texas State Board of Pharmacy has pulled their proposed rules on inventory security for reconsideration.

 

One of our American Pharmacies members, John Carson, is on the TSBP task force that presented the rules, but he testified in opposition to them. Our attorney, Amanda Fields, crafted a to-the-point written response, and APRx VP for Public Affairs Richard Beck testified at the public hearing, helping board members see the real-life results of the rules if they were approved.

 
Several TSBP members expressed interest in the inventory security policies and procedures manual we suggested.
 
The entire issue has been referred back to the Pharmacist Task Force to be reworked.
 
Others who testified and sent written response included TPA President Ed Horton, TPA Executive Director Jim Martin and Dean Davis of Davis and Davis law firm.
 
Stay tuned for the next steps in this issue. We will let you know when and to whom to direct communication when it comes back to the decision process.
