We support Pennsylvania House Bill 854!

May 13, 2015 by admin 1 Comment

RxTOOLKIT® and medsafetyonline.org support PA House Bill 854!

Pennsylvania House Bill 854 would require Pharmacy Techs to register with the Pennsylvania State Board of Pharmacy and submit to a criminal history background check. In addition, a grandfathering provision is included in which currently practicing Pharmacy Techs must be at least seventeen years of age, have a high school diploma or equivalent, and complete a board-approved training program.

Pennsylvania residents, please call or write your representatives and ask them to support this bill!

About the bill: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/billInfo/billInfo.cfm?sYear=2015&sInd=0&body=h&type=b&bn=854

Who is my PA Legislator?: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/findyourlegislator/
