Chapter 19 - LICENSING OF PHARMACISTS AND PHARMACIES
Section 19-9 - Licensing of Facilities

(a) Prior to the issuing of the registration to operate a pharmacy or prescription department in Wyoming, the Board will inspect the pharmacy for minimum standards including space, fixtures, sanitation, reference library, technical equipment and security. The application will include the number of hours the pharmacy will be in operation per week.

(b) The facility application shall list the names of all licensed pharmacists employed, specifically identifying the Pharmacist-in-Charge (PIC). The PIC determines which employees shall have access to the pharmacy.

(c) The Board shall be notified within seven (7) days of every change in PIC. A controlled substance inventory is required when there is a change in PIC, at the time of the change. This inventory shall include the signatures of both the outgoing and incoming PIC, and the date and time the inventory was taken. If the inventory cannot be conducted with both pharmacists, then the incoming PIC shall conduct an inventory. A copy of the controlled substance inventory and signed Certification of Responsibilities as Pharmacist-in-Charge (PIC) shall be forwarded to the Board office within fifteen (15) days of conducting the inventory.

(d) When a pharmacy changes ownership, the original license becomes void and a new license must be secured by the new owner or owners. A new license is required even if there is no change in the name of the pharmacy or in the registered PIC of the pharmacy.

(e) In the case of a corporation, limited liability company or partnership holding a pharmacy license, the Board shall be notified and a new license applied for any time the majority of stock in the corporation is sold or a majority of the partners of the partnership or members of the limited liability company change. This shall constitute new ownership. Requirements for the change of ownership are the same as outlined in this section.

(f) A pharmacy license registers the pharmacy to which it is issued only at the location specified on the application and is not transferable.

(g) The Board shall be notified in writing at least thirty (30) days before a pharmacy change of address. The new location shall be inspected by the Board prior to issuance of an amended pharmacy license for the new location. The new location must meet all requirements for a new or remodeled pharmacy, as noted in this chapter.

(h) All licenses and certificates issued by the Board shall be displayed in a prominent place in the facility and always in view of the public.

(i) Resident Pharmacy Licenses shall indicate "Institutional" or "Retail."
