Maine Pharmacy Act

Maine · Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators · §§ 13701 to 13849-C · 108 sections

Overview

The act governs the practice of pharmacy and the handling of prescription drugs and devices, placing that regulation under a state pharmacy board with exclusive authority over the field. It establishes the board itself — how members are appointed and qualified, their terms, officers, meetings and quorum requirements, and grounds for removal — and provides for an executive director and staff to handle day-to-day administration. It also grants the board rulemaking and procedural powers, authority to recognize pharmacist certification programs, and the means to fund and enforce its work through fees, dedicated funds, and personnel with peace officer authority.
