What it does
The Pharmacy Law provides for the licensing and regulation of pharmacies, pharmacists, intern pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians by the California State Board of Pharmacy, which is within the Department of Consumer Affairs. That law defines "prescription" as an oral, written, or electronic transmission order that includes specified information, including a legible clear notice of the condition or purpose for which the drug is being prescribed if requested by the patient, and is issued by an authorized prescriber. That law makes a knowing violation of its provisions punishable as a crime and makes any other violation punishable as an infraction.
