Recent Rulemaking Hearings
On Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 9:00AM, the Oregon Board of Pharmacy conducted a rulemaking hearing on the following topics in Room 1A of the Portland State Office Building, 800 NE Oregon St., Portland, OR 97232
The Division 041 Emergency Department Dispensing amendments are needed to update labeling and record requirements. These rules also propose to establish requirements for Automated Dispensing Machines (ADM) within the Emergency Department.
The Board is in the process of reorganizing and renumbering Division 041 to provide greater clarity, order and consistency with Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. For those rules that only required renumbering, they have been filed and updated with the Secretary of State. This filing includes rules that have been both renumbered and amended. Also
reflected are rules that are proposed to be repealed because they are outdated. The Board intends to develop new rules to accommodate new business models and will review the Division in its entirety to ensure that the rules accurately reflect current pharmacy practice standards.
The proposed amendments in Division 065 permanently amend the definition of Class II Wholesaler to include Oxygen USP and medical gases which is currently a Temporary Rule. The Temporary Rule will expire on December 16, 2012.
The proposed amendments in Division 110 establish a permanent licensing and delinquent fee for the registration and renewal of Supervising Physician Dispensing Outlets as required by 2012 Senate Bill 1565. This rule is currently a Temporary Rule and will expire on December 16, 2012.
