Clinical Research Pharmacies and Clinical Trials - Permits and Ownership

Summary

The bill lets the Maryland State Board of Pharmacy issue permits for pharmacies that only serve clinical research trials. It permits doctors, nurses or other licensed providers to hold an ownership stake in such pharmacies if a licensed pharmacist is on‑site and referral fees are prohibited. The change also removes experimental treatments from the legal definition of “practice of medicine,” so they don’t trigger usual licensing requirements.
