The Board of Pharmacy is staffed by the Division of Corporations, Business, and Professional Licensing. The board consists of five
pharmacists
and two public members. Board members are appointed
by the governor and confirmed by the Legislature.
The board adopts regulations
to carry out laws governing pharmacy practice in Alaska.
It makes final licensing decisions and takes disciplinary
actions against people who violate licensing laws.
The board meets three times a year and offers a public
comment period at each meeting. Meeting agendas and
minutes are available from the licensing examiner and will be posted to this
website once prepared.

Statutes and Regulations
Alaska Statutes are passed
by the Legislature. Regulations (also called the Alaska
Administrative Code) are rules adopted by the board
to implement, interpret, and make specific the statutes.
Both statutes and regulations have the force of law.
AS 08.80 and regulations
12 AAC 52 specifically govern pharmacy practice. AS
08.01 - 08.03 and regulations 12 AAC 02 apply to all
professions regulated by the division.
Proposed regulations are
advertised in Alaska newspapers and we invite public
comment on them. If you would like to receive notice
of proposed regulations, please write to the regulations
specialist and request that your name be added to the
Pharmacy interested parties list. Please advise us if
you move or wish your name removed from the mailing
list.
