2015 - 2016 LEGISLATURE
February 9, 2016 - Introduced by Senators Vukmir and Darling, cosponsored by
Representatives Thiesfeldt and Nygren. Referred to Committee on Health
and Human Services.
SB708,1,3 1An Act to amend 450.02 (2g) (b), 450.035 (1r) and 450.035 (1t) of the statutes;
2relating to: the administration by injection of prescribed drugs by
3pharmacists.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill allows a pharmacist or pharmacy student to administer an injectable
prescribed drug to a patient outside of the context of teaching the patient
self-administration techniques.
Under current law, a pharmacist or pharmacy student 1) may not administer
by injection a prescribed drug product or device that is not a vaccine unless he or she
has successfully completed a course of study and training in administration
technique (training course); 2) may administer such a prescribed drug product or
device only in the course of teaching self-administration techniques to a patient; and
3) must, when administering such a drug product or device, comply with
requirements and procedures established in rules promulgated by the Pharmacy
Examining Board. Additionally, a pharmacy student may only administer such a
prescribed drug product or device under the direct supervision of a pharmacist who
has also successfully completed a training course.
This bill eliminates the limitation providing that a pharmacist or pharmacy
student may administer such a prescribed drug product or device only in the course
of teaching self-administration techniques to a patient. However, the bill requires
a pharmacist or pharmacy student, or his or her agent after the pharmacist or
pharmacy student administers a prescribed drug product or device to a patient, to

notify the prescribing practitioner or enter the information in a patient record
system shared by the prescribing practitioner.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
