Sec. 9. (a) There must be at least one (1) pharmacist working at a remote dispensing facility for every six (6) pharmacist interns, licensed pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy technicians in training at the supervising pharmacy and remote dispensing facility.  However, an individual whose only duty is to act as the cashier is not included in the number of employees that may work for one (1) pharmacist under this subsection.

(b) A remote dispensing facility that is not staffed by a pharmacist must be staffed by at least one (1) pharmacy technician who meets the following requirements:

(B) obtained the hours described in subdivision (2) before July 1, 2017.

(5) Is supervised by a pharmacist at the supervising pharmacy at all times that the remote dispensing facility is operational.  As used in this subdivision, supervision does not require that the pharmacist be physically present at the remote dispensing facility as long as the pharmacist is supervising telepharmacy operations electronically through a computer link, video link, and audio link.

(6) Is currently in good standing with the board.

(c) A pharmacy technician in training may not work at a remote dispensing facility unless a pharmacist is on site.

(d) The board shall adopt rules that require pharmacy technicians working at a remote dispensing facility that is not staffed by a pharmacist to complete continuing education requirements established by the board.
