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 in 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 makes a pharmacist responsible for the duties performed under his or her supervision by a technician and allows a pharmacy with only one pharmacist to have only one pharmacy technician performing those tasks.
