License Reciprocity: Pharmacist and Pharmacy Technician
When an emergency declaration is in effect, an out-of-state licensed pharmacist or a pharmacy intern or technician working under the supervision of a pharmacist can dispense prescription medications in counties, cities, or towns affected by the emergency when participating in emergency relief. The recognition of an out-of-state license will end at the termination of the declared emergency.
