The Pharmacy Examining Board has received information from stakeholders that there remains a shortage of pharmacy staff and an inability to receive a license due to the impact the pandemic has had on the availability of the multi-state pharmacy jurisprudence examination. The Board determined that the preservation of public health and safety necessitates an emergency rule to temporarily suspend the requirement that applicants for a pharmacist license who hold a license in another state take the multi-state pharmacy jurisprudence examination.
Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business or in preparation of economic impact analysis:
As the emergency rule temporarily suspends the requirement that applicants for a pharmacist license who hold a license in another state take the multi-state pharmacy jurisprudence examination, there is no anticipated effect on small business.
Fiscal estimate:
The emergency rule will not have a fiscal impact.
Effect on small business:
The emergency rule does not have an economic impact on small businesses, as defined in s. 227.114 (1), Stats. The Department’s Regulatory Review Coordinator may be contacted by email at Daniel.Hereth@wisconsin.gov, or by calling (608) 267-2435. Agency contact person:
