SECTION 1330.80 RENEWALS

Section 1330.80  Renewals

a)         Every license issued under the Act, except the certificate of

registration as a student pharmacist, shall expire on March 31 of each

even-numbered year.  Every certificate of registration as a student pharmacist

issued under the Act shall expire annually on March 31.  The holder of a

license or certificate of registration may renew the license or certificate

during the 60 days preceding the expiration date by paying the required fee.

b)         It is the responsibility of each registrant to notify the

Division of any change of address or email address.  Failure to receive a

renewal form from the Division shall not constitute an excuse for failure to renew.

c)         Practicing or operating on a license or certificate that has

expired shall be considered unlicensed activity and shall be grounds for

discipline pursuant to Section 30 of the Act.

d)         As required

by Section 9 of the Act, registered pharmacy technicians shall be required to

submit proof of certification as a certified pharmacy technician, proof of

enrollment in a first professional degree program in pharmacy, or proof of

enrollment in clinical training by a graduate of a foreign pharmacy program for

the first renewal or restoration that occurs after the license has been issued

for at least 2 years, regardless of whether or not the license has been active,

inactive, or not renewed. This requirement does not apply to pharmacy

technicians licensed prior to January 1, 2008. Failure to provide proof of

certification results in non-renewal of the pharmacy technician's registration.

e)         Certified

pharmacy technicians must certify to having completed the continuing education

requirements of Section 1330.230.
