A pharmacy owner may change the designation of the pharmacist-in-charge, provided an application for the change is made upon a form prescribed by the board and upon payment of a fifty dollar fee. The application must be filed with the board not more than ten days after the change of active management is made. If the application is received by the board after ten days, the pharmacy license is void, and the owner must reapply for the license. When a change in the designation of a pharmacist-in-charge occurs, an on-hand inventory of controlled substances, as listed in chapter 34-20B, must be completed. The inventory must be taken on the date the new pharmacist-in-charge assumes active management of the pharmacy. The inventory list must be retained in the pharmacy for two years from the date of the inventory.
