How many days before a change in ownership must the pharmacy notify the Board of Pharmacy?

The correct answer is that the pharmacy must notify the Board of Pharmacy 14 days before a change in ownership. This requirement is in place to ensure that the Board has sufficient time to process the ownership change and verify that the new owners meet all the necessary qualifications and regulatory standards to operate a pharmacy. This notification period allows for a smooth transition of ownership and helps maintain compliance with state regulations that govern the operation of pharmacies.

Understanding this timeframe is crucial for pharmacy management so they can prepare for the transition and ensure that all legal obligations are met before the ownership change occurs. Adhering to this notification timeline helps to prevent any disruptions in service or compliance issues that could arise from improper or late notification to the Board.
