Opinions and Declaratory Rulings

​​​​The Kentucky Board of Pharmacy issues declaratory rulings to clarify laws and regulations pertaining to the practice of pharmacy within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Board of Pharmacy is authorized to issue Opinion and Declaratory Judgments pursuant to KRS 13A.130(3) and 13A.010(2)(b). A declaratory ruling does not create a new law or modify an existing one. Board of Pharmacy declaratory rulings are not binding, and are only offered as a guideline to licensees, permit-holders and registrants who wish to engage in a safe practice of pharmacy that promotes, preserves and protects public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Commonwealth.​
