We read the rules so you don’t get surprised by them.

Law re-verified verbatim; no amendment since 2013 and no pending ratio rulemaking in the current session. The 2026 immunization-program rulemaking does not touch the ratio.

All staffing rules re-confirmed current and effective via the Board's own rule tracker; the open chapter 4729:5-5 rulemaking amends other rules, not the staffing series.

Dual cap unchanged. 2026 Act No. 146 amends other subsections of 40-43-86 only (agency renames); no ratio legislation in the current session. Board Policy #116 documented: technician students on clinical rotation are exempt from the ratio.

Ratio re-verified first-hand from the state's official compilation. No change; the one open Board rulemaking (fees, compounding, ASTC) does not touch chapter 1140-02.

Ratio unchanged. A rulemaking filed July 15, 2026 (hearing September 16, 2026) corrects a statutory reference only; the proposed text of the ratio subsection is identical to current law.

BPC 4115 re-verified verbatim against the official current-law text. No change; the 3-per-pharmacist additive formula stands.

Ratio scheme unchanged. New: HB26-1336 (effective August 12, 2026) permits delegating final product verification to certified technicians for non-controlled orders; no ratio change, Board rulemaking due by end of 2026.

HB 382 (Act 476, effective July 1, 2026) verified line by line: the 4-technician cap is unchanged, remote technicians are now expressly excluded from the count, and the certification tiers were struck from the statute but remain in force under Board rule 480-15-.03(e).

NAC 639.250 unchanged. Newly posted Board minutes record that R072-25 was tabled at the June 4, 2026 hearing; it does not appear on the July or September Board agendas.

Initial verification of Ala. Admin. Code r. 680-X-2-.14(5): certification-scaled ceiling of 2/3/4 technicians; 4 is a hard cap.

Initial verification of C.R.S. 12-280-122: 6 technicians and interns combined per pharmacist (max 2 interns); majority-certified requirement once 3 or more technicians are on duty.

Follow-up on Colorado scope questions; ratio mechanics confirmed unchanged.

Initial verification of Georgia's 1:4 ratio and certification tiers under O.C.G.A. 26-4-82 and Board rule 480-15-.03(e).

Initial verification of N.J.A.C. 13:39-6.15: base cap of 2 per pharmacist; if every technician on duty is certified there is no stated ceiling; one non-certified technician reverts the crew to the base cap.

Initial verification: Ohio has no numeric ratio; binding rules are the 13-hour workday cap, 8-hour rest gap, and 3-year exception documentation (OAC 4729:5-5-02.2).

Initial verification of S.C. Code Ann. 40-43-86(B)(4): dual cap of at most 4 technicians per pharmacist with no more than 2 non-certified; institutional pharmacies follow a separate 1-to-3 employment ratio.

R072-25 staffing-floor language re-read verbatim from the official filing to confirm the exact conditions; proposal status unchanged (not adopted).

Deep dive on proposed R072-25's solo-pharmacist staffing floor: minimum support-staff requirements confirmed from the proposal text (1 support staff without a drive-through, 2 with one).

Re-verified AB 1503's additive formula against the statute text. Confirmed the pre-2026 formula is superseded.

Re-verified NAC 639.250 against the official code and Board filings. R072-25 confirmed proposed, not adopted.

Re-verified the 6:1 non-certified ratio; the October 2025 chapter amendment touched technician vaccine scope only, not the ratio.

Initial verification of BPC 4115 as amended by AB 1503 (effective January 1, 2026): 3 technicians for the first pharmacist plus 3 per additional pharmacist.

Initial verification of NAC 639.250: one pharmacist may supervise up to 3 technicians, or 1 technician plus 2 trainees. Proposed rule R072-25 identified and tracked.

Initial verification of Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1140-02-.02(7)(a): 6 non-certified technicians per pharmacist; certified technicians uncapped.
