What must a corporation do if there are changes in officers or directors regarding their pharmacy license?

When there are changes in the officers or directors of a pharmacy corporation, it is essential for the corporation to notify the relevant regulatory authority, specifically the commission, within a designated time frame. In Connecticut, the requirement is to inform the commission within 10 days of such changes. This ensures that the licensing authority is kept up-to-date with the individuals responsible for the operation and management of the pharmacy, aligning with the regulatory expectations for maintaining the integrity and compliance of pharmacy operations.

Filing an application for a new license is not necessary in cases of changes to officers or directors, as the current license remains valid until the next scheduled renewal unless other compliance issues arise. Waiting until the next annual renewal to report these changes would not meet the regulatory obligation and could lead to potential fines or penalties. Notifying only the DEA would not suffice, as the commission oversees state pharmacy operations, and keeping them informed is crucial for compliance with state laws.
