HB 590 -- Well-Being Committee for Impaired Pharmacists

Sponsor:  Tilley

This bill allows the Missouri State Board of Pharmacy to
establish the Well-being Committee to aid pharmacists who suffer
from illness, substance abuse, mental illness, or physical
impairments.  The board will enter into contractual agreements
with nonprofit corporations for the purpose of creating,
supporting, and maintaining the committee.  All communications
involving the licensee and the committee are confidential and not
considered public records.

The committee may disclose information about an impaired licensee
when it is necessary to further the intervention, treatment, or
rehabilitation of the licensee; the release is authorized by the
licensee; the committee must make a report to the board; or the
information is subject to a court order.
