This Amendment adds the following provisions related to pharmacist malpractice to Senate Bill No. 320: (1) Pharmacists practicing under Chapter 25 of Title 24 must inform the Board of Pharmacy of medical malpractice claims that have been settled or adjudicated to final judgment (“judgment”) within 30 days of settlement or judgment. Insurance carriers who have provided coverage on such claims must also notify the Board within that same timeframe. (2) The Board of Pharmacy must, within 60 days of receiving notice of medical malpractice settlement or judgment, refer the case to the Division of Professional Regulation for investigation. This Amendment also adds “pharmacist” to the definition of “health-care practitioner” in § 3002G of Title 16. This addition conforms § 3002G of Title 16 with line 149 of Senate Bill No. 320, which gives pharmacists independent prescriptive authority with respect to opioid antagonists.
