On May 8th, during the last hour of the legislative session the Advanced Tech legislation passed (SB 133). Rather than focusing on one specific task (Tech product verification), the bill creates a new designation (Advanced Pharmacy Technician) that will allow the pharmacist to delegate the following to the advanced tech:

1. perform final product verifications

2. administer vaccines

3. administer COVID-19-related tests, influenza-related tests and HIV-related tests

BILL NO.133
