Section 36-11A-15 - Advisory committee--Members--Duties.
36-11A-15. Advisory committee--Members--Duties. The board shall appoint a wholesale drug distributor advisory committee composed of five members who shall serve without compensation. Committee members shall be selected as follows:
(1) At least one member shall be a pharmacist or pharmacy distributor who shall neither be a member nor an employee of the board;
(2) At least two members shall be representatives of wholesale drug distributors as defined in § 36-11A-3; and
(3) At least one member shall be a representative of manufacturers as defined in subdivision 36-11A-1(5).
In making advisory committee appointments, the board shall consider recommendations received from pharmacists, wholesale drug distributors and manufacturers. Committee members shall serve terms of three years, except initial appointees, whose terms shall be staggered so that no more than two members' terms expire in any one year. If a vacancy occurs, the board shall appoint a person to fill the unexpired term.
The advisory committee shall review and make recommendations to the board on the merit of all rules dealing with wholesale drug distributors which are proposed by the board. No rule affecting wholesale drug distributors promulgated by the board may be approved without first being submitted to the committee for review and comment. Failure of the committee to comment on proposed rules does not prevent the board from adopting the rules in compliance with chapter 1-26.
