Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, March 15, 2024

PURPOSE: This rule establishes guidelines to be used by the board for licensure disciplinary agreements.

(1) The board may elect to enter into an agreement for discipline with the holder of a pharmacist or pharmacy license for the purpose of informally resolving a complaint which the board has prepared.

(2) The use of licensure disciplinary agreements shall be subject to the following:

(A) Agreements of this type will be used at the option of the board and shall not bar the board from filing any complaints with the Administrative Hearing Commission in order to seek disciplinary action for any violation of Chapter 338, RSMo;

(B) All licensure disciplinary agreements shall contain a public notice clause which provides that the board will publish the licensing action in its quarterly newsletter and shall treat the information contained in the agreement as public information;

(C) When entering into a licensure disciplinary agreement, the board and the licensee shall waive any rights attendant to a hearing before the Administrative Hearing Commission and will consent that the licensure disciplinary agreement is in lieu of proceedings before the Administrative Hearing Commission; and

(D) If the board determines that a licensee has violated a term or condition of the agreement, or has otherwise failed to comply with the provisions of Chapter 338, RSMo, which violation would be actionable in a proceeding before the State Board of Pharmacy, the Administrative Hearing Commission, or in a circuit court, the board may elect to pursue any lawful remedies or procedures afforded to it.

(3) The provisions of this rule are declared severable. If any portion of this rule is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this rule shall remain in full force and effect unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
