Scope statements

Pharmacy Examining Board

Subject

Section Phar 2.01 (1) (c) - relating to removing the requirement that an applicant for licensure as a pharmacist submit a recent notarized photograph.

Policy Analysis

Current federal and state law and policy restrict the circumstances, if any, whereby an applicant for a license issued by a governmental entity may be required to submit a personal photograph as part of the application process. Lacking a demonstrated and sufficient reason to continue to require applicants to submit a photograph, it is the board's intent to repeal s. Phar 2.02 (1) (c).

Statutory authority

Sections 15.08 (5) (b), 227.11 (2), 450.03 (2) and 450.04 (3).

Staff time required

It is estimated that 50 hours will be needed to amend the rules.
