If a pharmacy changes its physical location, how many days before the change must a new license application be submitted?

• A. 10 days
• B. 60 days
• C. 90 days
• D. 30 days

Answer: (D)

Relocating a pharmacy is treated as a change of location that requires board review and approval for the new site. The board needs time to verify the premises, ensure it meets all standards, confirm the PIC assignment, and, if needed, conduct an inspection. Submitting the license application thirty days before the move gives the board enough time to process and issue a new license so the new site can operate legally when it opens. Moving and starting operation without timely licensure would risk violating state regulations.
