DIGEST
SB 97 Original 2022 Regular Session Boudreaux
Present law provides for the qualifications required for a pharmacist currently licensed in another
jurisdiction to apply for a license as a pharmacist by reciprocity in Louisiana.
Proposed law retains present law.
Present law provides that no applicant shall be eligible for licensure by reciprocity unless the state
or jurisdiction in which the applicant was initially licensed as a pharmacist also grants reciprocity
to a pharmacist duly licensed by examination in this state, under comparable circumstances and
conditions.
Proposed law retains the requirement for dual reciprocity but removes the specific requirement that
there be comparable circumstances and conditions.
Effective August 1, 2022.
(Amends R.S. 37:1203(B))
