Oregon Board of Pharmacy Rule Changes


July 1, 2013
On June 12, 2013 the Board amended the following fees: Reciprocity, County Health Clinics, Family Planning Clinics, Hospital Drug Rooms, Correctional Facilities, Prophylactic/Contraceptive Outlets, Retail and Institutional Drug Outlets, Home Dialysis Drug Outlets and all Controlled Substance registration fees.
The Board implemented a temporary fee reduction for these fees as allowed by ORS 291.055(3) due to an unexpected surplus in revenue. These fee reductions are in addition to the temporary pharmacist licensure fee reduction that went into effect on April 5, 2013.
