SB 6558-S - DIGEST
(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

Declares an intent to make clear: (1) The legislature's directive to the pharmacy quality assurance commission to allow hospital pharmacy licenses to include individual practitioner offices and multipractitioner clinics owned, operated, or under common control with a hospital; and

(2) That the offices and clinics are regulated, inspected, and investigated according to the level of service provided.

Specifies a clear timeline for implementation of ESSB 5460 which was passed in 2015 (chapter 234, Laws of 2015) but has not yet been implemented.

Requires the pharmacy quality assurance commission, if it determines that rules are necessary for the immediate implementation of the inspection standards, to adopt rules under the emergency rule-making process.
