Clinical Research Pharmacies and Clinical Trials - Permits and Ownership

Summary

The law authorizes the Maryland Board of Pharmacy to issue permits for pharmacies that operate solely for clinical research. It allows licensed health‑care providers to hold ownership stakes in such pharmacies, provided a pharmacist is on‑site at all times and the provider does not refer patients for remuneration. The measure also removes clinical‑trial activities from the legal definition of practicing medicine, so they are not subject to standard medical licensing rules.
