Plain language analysis:
Section 1 creates a definition for NABP which is the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.
Section 2 repeals the qualifications for licensure as duplicative.
Section 3 removes the requirement that the completed application be submitted prior to examination. The application requires components which may be done prior to taking the examination. 2013 Wisconsin Act 114 prohibits the board from requiring a person to complete the required education prior to taking the examination. Section 4 adds passing the examinations to the application procedure requirements.
Section 5 repeals the examinations for licensure as it is now addressed as part of the application requirements. It also repeals the qualifications for persons licensed in another state as duplicative.
Section 6 repeals and recreates the application procedure for applicants who hold a license in another state. The rule specifies that the a person who holds a license in another state complete the application, pay a fee, utilize the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy’s Clearinghouse transfer application and take the multi-state pharmacy jurisprudence examination.
Section 7 repeals the examinations required for applicants who hold a license in another state as it is now addressed in the application procedure section.
Section 8 repeals the section on administration of the examinations due to the rule being out of date and the Board no longer administers the examinations.
Section 9 is amended to recognize the board may adopt the recommended passing score of the examination provider.
Section 10 repeals examination provisions which are obsolete due to the test n longer being a Board administered or developed test.
