Each pharmacy technician in Oklahoma shall obtain a permit annually before
practicing as such. A pharmacy technician must be employed in a licensed
pharmacy located in Oklahoma to be eligible to renew his pharmacy technician
permit.
(1) Upon meeting the qualifications
listed in
535:15-13-4
and 535:25, applicants shall apply for a pharmacy technician permit on the form
provided by the Board. Such application shall be returned accompanied by the
fee authorized by the legislature and in the agency fee schedule.
(2) After the pharmacy technician has
completed his portion of the application, he must submit it to the pharmacy
manager or designated pharmacist who has conducted the technician training for
review and signature.
(3) The
pharmacy manager or designated pharmacist must first verify the applicant's
completion of Phase I of the Board approved pharmacy technician training
program. The signature by the pharmacist verifying technician training
indicates that there is written training verification in the pharmacy available

(4) Each
pharmacy technician who desires to continue to work as a tech shall annually,
on or before the last day of the registrants' birth month, send to the Board
the fee authorized by the legislature and in the agency fee schedule, with a
completed Board renewal application signed by the supervising pharmacist and
the technician. Renewal notice will be sent to the technician's address on file
in the Board office either electronically or by mail.
(b) The technician applicant is required to
report and the Board shall, at a minimum, consider the following factors in
reviewing qualifications of persons who apply for a pharmacy technician permit
within the state:
(1) any arrest, charge,
plea of nolo contendere, or conviction, or deferred sentence, for any
misdemeanor or felony offense of the applicant under any federal, state, or
local laws;
(2) the furnishing of
any false or fraudulent material in any application made to the Board;
(3) suspension or revocation by
federal, state, or local government of any license currently or previously held
by the applicant;
(4) compliance
with permitting requirements under previously granted permits, if any;
(5) any abuse of alcohol or
habit-forming drugs or use of an illegal CDS substance or a positive drug
screen for such illegal substance or its metabolite; and,
(6) any other factors or qualifications the
Board considers relevant to and consistent with the public health and safety.
(c) The Board shall
have the right to deny a permit to an applicant if it determines that the
granting of such a permit would not be consistent with the public health and
safety.
