New York Pharmacy Legislative Update - 2025

In New York state, pharmacy practice, controlled substance, insurance, and general business laws are changing to keep pace with demands of society. Regulations promulgated by state agencies are also changing. This program is designed to inform pharmacist practitioners, students, stakeholders, and other interested parties about the most recent amendments to these laws.

At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

1. Identify bills that have passed both the NYS Senate and the Assembly during 2025 and will be presented to the Governor.

2. Discuss bills that have been sponsored, and will be considered during 2026.

3. Recognize legislative issues of importance to the pharmacy profession, but not yet sponsored in the legislature.

4. Discuss recent regulations promulgated by New York's administrative agencies.
