145th GENERAL ASSEMBLY

HOUSE BILL NO. 382

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:

Section1.Amend §4740, Title 16 of the Delaware Code by striking the word "licensed" where it appears before the words "pharmacy technician" in paragraph (a)(2).

SYNOPSIS

This bill corrects an error in the Delaware Code provision relating to the sale of pseudoephedrine or ephedrine. The law currently provides that a licensed pharmacist, sales clerk or "licensed pharmacy technician" shall require that any person purchasing, receiving, or otherwise acquiring any substance containing pseudoephedrine or ephedrine shall be age 18 or older and show a photo ID.The law requires pharmacists, sales clerks and "licensed pharmacy technicians" to check for ID and to maintain a written log of all pseudoephedrine or ephedrine that is dispensed.The problem is that there is no such thing as a "licensed pharmacy technician" in Delaware.The bill corrects this error and makes clear that all pharmacy technicians must comply with these requirements.
