HB 270 - PHARMACIST LICENSING Number 1067 CHAIR ANDERSON announced that the next order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 270, "An Act relating to the licensure of pharmacists; and providing for an effective date." Number 1085 ROBIN PHILLIPS, Staff to Representative Nancy Dahlstrom, Alaska State Legislature, noted, on behalf of Representative Dahlstrom, sponsor, that members should now have in their packets copies of the statutes pertaining to the appeal process for applicants and licensees who've been denied a license or who've had a license revoked. She noted that this process is set in statute under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). In response to a question regarding whether HB 270 is even necessary, she said: This bill was brought to us by the Board [of Pharmacy] and by their legal folks that had come up with the language. I believe ... its just [to] clarify any situation that may arise, so that they can deny a license rather than having to take it back after they've given the license. Number 1197 BARRY CHRISTENSEN, R.Ph., Legislative Chair, Alaska Pharmacists Association (AkPhA), said simply that the AkPhA supports HB 270 because of the need to ensure that those applying for a pharmacist license are good, qualified applicants. CHAIR ANDERSON, after ascertaining that no one else wished to testify, closed public testimony on HB 270. Number 1235 REPRESENTATIVE ROKEBERG moved to report HB 270 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying zero fiscal note. There being no objection, HB 270 was reported from the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee.
