CHAPTER 297. PHARMACY TECHNICIANS
AND PHARMACY TECHNICIAN TRAINEES
22 TAC 297.4
The Texas State Board of Pharmacy adopts amendments to
297.4, concerning Fees. The amendments are adopted with
changes to the proposed text as published in the June 22, 2012,
issue of the Texas Register (37 TexReg 4526). The Board voted
to adopt the rule with changes, as noted below, due to the
TexasOnline submission fees changing.
The amendments to 297.4 will raise pharmacy technician
and pharmacy technician trainee fees to generate additional
revenue needed to make revenue projections. The Board
voted to change the proposed initial and renewal fees by a $1
decrease to reflect the correct amount due for the TexasOnline
subscription fee.
No comments were received.
The amendments are adopted under 551.002 and 554.051 of
the Texas Pharmacy Act (Chapters 551 - 566 and 568 - 569,
Texas Occupations Code). The Board interprets 551.002 as
authorizing the agency to protect the public through the effective
control and regulation of the practice of pharmacy. The Board
interprets 554.051(a) as authorizing the agency to adopt rules
for the proper administration and enforcement of the Act.
The statutes affected by these amendments: Texas Pharmacy
Act, Chapters 551 - 566 and 568 - 569, Texas Occupations Code.
