Interim Studies
The Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the House issue charges to their respective committees to study during the interim, leading up to the next legislative session.  This year, both issued many charges that are important to pharmacy.

House Committee on Public Health
  • Study and make recommendations for improvements to the licensing, regulation, and monitoring of compounding pharmacies, including a review of the joint cooperative efforts between the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, Department of State Health Services, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Consider the impact of the passage of SB 1100 (83R), additional appropriations made by the 83rd Legislature to strengthen inspections, and any relevant federal legislation
