Coming Soon! 2024 Survey of Pharmacy Law
The 2024 edition of the Survey of Pharmacy Law
will be available soon. Published in a downloadable
pdf, the Survey continues to be a valuable resource
for anyone looking for an overview of the laws
and regulations that govern pharmacy practice in
all 50 states and three jurisdictions: the District of
Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
The Survey consists of four chapters: a state-bystate
overview of organizational law, licensing law,
drug law, and census data. The 2024 Survey will
include a new chart for prescription monitoring
program (PMP)-related topics, such as whether
states require the reporting of drugs to the PMP/
prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP)
and if they require a PMP/PDMP waiver
submission. In addition, a new question was
added asking whether states require pharmacy
technicians to complete accredited pharmacy
technician education and training.
Updates for the 2024 Survey were provided
by the state boards of pharmacy.
As in previous years, board of pharmacy
executive directors will receive a complimentary
copy for their board. In addition, all school and
colleges of pharmacy deans receive the Survey
free of charge.
The Survey will also be available for purchase
through the NABP e-Profile® system.
