(By Delegates Morgan, Martin, Beach, Caputo, Eldridge, Hartman,

)
(Originating in the Committee on Government Organization;
March 3, 2008)
Requesting that the Joint Committee on Government and Finance
authorize a study of the law governing the West Virginia Board
of Pharmacy.
Whereas, The practice of pharmacy has undergone dramatic
changes in response to the development of technology and the needs
of the citizens of West Virginia; and
Whereas, Free clinics, primary care centers and other providers
of health care services have developed alternative modes of
prescription drug delivery under the West Virginia statutes
governing prescribers; and
Whereas, The increasing issue of prescription drug diversion
means that a closer examination of home delivery services and the
examination of more secure delivery systems such as remote
dispensing may serve the interests of West Virginians; and
Whereas, The statute governing the Board of Pharmacy should be
reviewed to consider any appropriate and necessary revisions to the
laws and rules governing this profession; therefore be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to authorize a study of the law governing the West Virginia state Board of Pharmacy; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2009, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
