Board schedules adjudicatory hearings, offers consent agreements including civil penalties and CE requirements
Summary
The Maine Board of Pharmacy on June 4 scheduled adjudicatory hearings and offered consent agreements in multiple complaint matters; several agreements included censure and civil penalties (commonly $2,500) and continuing-education requirements to be completed within 90 days.
During the meeting the board considered multiple complaint files and took a mix of actions: it scheduled adjudicatory hearings, offered Consent Agreements in some matters, dismissed others, and amended at least one Consent Agreement to add probation. For example, the board moved to schedule case 2025‑PHA‑21026 for an adjudicatory hearing and to offer a Consent Agreement including admission to the violation, censure and a $2,500 civil penalty to be paid within 90 days. A separate matter, 2025‑PHA‑21051, included a proposed Consent Agreement with identical penalty language plus a requirement that the respondent complete six hours of preapproved continuing education on ethics within 90 days.
The minutes record that Complaint Officer Eric Norberg and member Nicholas Haar abstained on several consent‑agreement votes and that some matters were dismissed after initial presentation (e.g., 2026‑PHA‑21256, 2026‑PHA‑21257). In another matter, 2026‑PHA‑21252, the board voted to offer a Consent Agreement including license revocation with permission to reapply after no less than six months subject to proof of six hours of pharmacy‑management continuing education.
