Big News for Pharmacy Technicians! California has taken an important step forward with the passage of CA A.B. 1503, establishing a Pharmacy Technician Advisory Committee to guide the state’s Board of Pharmacy on technician-related matters.

The new seven-member committee will include four pharmacy technicians, two pharmacists, and one public member, giving technicians a dedicated voice in shaping the future of pharmacy practice.

While the committee currently serves in an advisory role without voting power, this marks a strong move toward expanding the scope and influence of pharmacy technicians.

Here’s to continued progress and recognition of the vital role technicians play in patient care and public health!
