LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 643, as introduced, Price. Pharmacists: identity.
The Pharmacy Law provides for the licensure and regulation of
pharmacists by the California State Board of Pharmacy. The law
prohibits furnishing a prescription for a controlled substance that
was transmitted by means of an oral or electronic order to an unknown
person who is unable to properly establish his or her identity.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this
provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

shall not be furnished to any person
an unknown and person who is

regulation establish procedures to prevent unauthorized persons from
receiving prescription drugs furnished to a patient or a
representative of the patient.
