Conference managers amend SB 2623 to require pharmacy technicians to be 18 to administer vaccinations
Summary
Conference managers approved a CD1 to SB 2623 clarifying pharmacy technician rules: registration minimum age remains 16, but technicians must be 18 and meet statute requirements to administer vaccinations; managers voted to approve the conference draft.
Conference managers reviewed SB 2623 (licensing) and approved a conference draft that clarifies age and authority for registered pharmacy technicians. The bill specifies a minimum registration age of 16 but the CD1 amends the vaccination-administration provision to require that a registered pharmacy technician be at least 18 to administer vaccinations and meet the requirements under the cited statutory section. "We do appreciate the Senate making the amendments to clarify that 18 years, you need to be 18 years or older to administer a vaccination," a manager said during the discussion.
Managers recorded aye votes from the chairs and managers and the conference draft was approved. The item was described as taking effect upon approval; managers noted quorum and completed the manager-level action to advance the draft.
