[Originating in the Committee on Government Organization]
(March 9, 2010)
Requesting that the Joint Committee on Government and Finance
authorize a study of the law governing the West Virginia State
Board of Pharmacy.
Whereas, The Board regulating the profession of pharmacists,
pharmacy technicians, pharmacy interns and pharmacies is charged
with protecting the public health, safety and welfare; and
Whereas, Because of advances in medical technology, changes in
the practice of these professions have not been incorporated into
the regulatory framework that governs the board to ensure that it
has the authority necessary to govern the professions; and
Whereas, The Legislature is committed to protecting the public
through the licensure and regulation of professions and occupations
in this state; and
Whereas, The statute governing the West Virginia State Board of
Pharmacy should be reviewed to consider any appropriate and
necessary revisions to the laws and rules governing this
profession; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to authorize a study of the West Virginia State Board of
Pharmacy; and be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the Regular Session of the Legislature, 2011, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations and,
be it
Further Resolved, That the Legislative expenses necessary to
conduct this study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary
legislation be paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint
Committee on Government and Finance.
