The board may promulgate rules necessary for the administration and enforcement of this chapter and ch. 961. [s. 450.02 (3) (d), Stats.] Related statute or rule: n/a
Plain language analysis:
Currently the authority and definition sections indicate the authority and definitions apply to chapters Phar 1 to 16. Chapter Phar 17 Pharmacy Internship was created in 2002 and that rulemaking order inadvertently did not expand the authority and definitions to include ch. Phar 17. This rule clarifies the authority and definition extend to ch. 17. Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation: None
Comparison with rules in adjacent states:
Illinois: Illinois requires approved educational programs to contain an externship and clerkship experience.
Iowa: Iowa has administrative rules governing pharmacist internships.
Michigan: Michigan has administrative rules governing pharmacist internships.
Minnesota: Minnesota has administrative rules governing pharmacist internships.
Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies:
This rule is for clarification that the authority and definitions apply to all of the Pharmacy Code chapters.
Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business or in preparation of economic impact analysis:
This rule revises the authority and definition chapter to apply to all of the pharmacy code chapters and does not have an economic impact.
Fiscal Estimate and Economic Impact Analysis:
