2018 – 2019 Goals:

The CPS Legislative Committee advises the CPS Board on legislative issues relevant to the pharmacy profession.  Goals for the group this year are:

• Work to pass technician regulation in Colorado with a goal to protect the public and supervising pharmacists, and minimize the opportunity for drug diversion, by having technicians registered with the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).  Our secondary goal is to establish baseline training standards for pharmacy technicians.  We will seek to collaborate on this effort with all pharmacy parties in Colorado including both the Colorado Retail Council and RxPlus.
  
  
• Monitor all legislation in Colorado that may impact pharmacy

• Increase communication to CPS members on legislative issues and efforts

• Host a Legislative Day at the Capitol during the legislative session for CPS members and students.

Upcoming Meetings

The CPS Legislative Committee meets every two weeks on Thursdays at noon during the legislative session.
