Statutes are laws which have been enacted by a vote of the legislature.
Any modifications made to a statute also requires the approval of the legislature.
The Minnesota Board of Pharmacy has the responsibility for implementing and regulating Chapter 151 and Chapter 152 of the Minnesota Statutes. Rules, on the other hand, are written by the Board of Pharmacy. Rules are required to be supported by a statute. Rules typically are less general and more specific to a particular situation. All Minnesota pharmacy rules are found in Chapter 6800 .
