(b) It is unlawful for the proprietor of any store or pharmacy, any ambulatory health care facility, as that term is defined in section one, article five-b, chapter sixteen of this code, that offers pharmaceutical care or a facility operated to provide health care or mental health care services free of charge or at a reduced rate that offers pharmaceutical care to permit any person not a pharmacist to compound or dispense prescriptions or prescription refills or to retail or dispense the poisons and narcotic drugs named in sections two, three and six, article eight, chapter sixteen of this code: Provided, That a licensed intern may compound and dispense prescriptions or prescription refills under the direct supervision of a pharmacist: Provided, however, That registered pharmacy technicians may assist in the preparation and dispensing of prescriptions or prescription refills including, but not limited to, reconstitution of liquid medications, typing and affixing labels under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist.
(e) An intern having served part or all of his or her internship in a pharmacy in another state or foreign country shall be given credit for the same when the affidavit of his or her internship is signed by the pharmacist under whom he or she served and it shows the dates and number of hours served in the internship and when the affidavit is attested by the secretary of the state Board of Pharmacy of the state or country where the internship was served.
(a) The Board of Pharmacy shall require and provide for the annual registration of every pharmacy doing business in this state, including an ambulatory health care facility, as that term is defined in section one, article five-b, chapter sixteen of this code, that offers pharmaceutical care or a facility operated to provide health care or mental health care services free of charge or at a reduced rate that offers pharmaceutical care.

If it is desired to operate, maintain, open or establish more than one pharmacy, separate application shall be made and separate permits or licenses shall be issued for each.
