Summary
The bill adds a new subdivision to the Education Law that obligates chain and community pharmacies operating in New York to obtain a state designation. Pharmacies must apply, pay a $500 fee, and renew the registration every three years, with several types of pharmacies exempted from the community classification. This creates a tracking system for pharmacy ownership.
