Who does the board need to notify upon receiving a complaint?

When the board receives a complaint, it is required to notify the Department of Attorney General. This is because the Attorney General's office plays a crucial role in overseeing legal matters related to pharmacy practice and can provide necessary legal guidance during the investigation process. The Department of Attorney General is responsible for enforcing state laws and regulations, and they assist in the prosecution of any violations that may arise from the complaints against licensed professionals.

This notification is essential for ensuring that any actions taken by the board align with state laws and protocols. Involving the Attorney General helps protect public safety and uphold the integrity of the pharmacy profession. Additionally, the Attorney General’s office can facilitate collaboration between various state agencies involved in the complaints process.
