What it does
The Pharmacy Law provides for the licensure and regulation of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies by the California State Board of Pharmacy, which is within the Department of Consumer Affairs. That law authorizes a pharmacy technician to perform packaging, manipulative, repetitive, or other nondiscretionary tasks only while assisting, and while under the direct supervision and control of, a pharmacist. That law prohibits a pharmacy with only one pharmacist from having more than one pharmacy technician performing those tasks and prohibits the ratio of pharmacy technicians performing those tasks to any additional pharmacist from exceeding 2 to 1, except as specified.
