AUTHORITY TO LICENSE AND REGULATE PRACTITIONERS; PERMITS (§ 54.1-3304.1)

A. The Board of Pharmacy shall have the authority to license and regulate the
dispensing of controlled substances by practitioners of the healing arts. Except
as prescribed in this chapter or by Board regulations, it shall be unlawful for
any practitioner of the healing arts to dispense controlled substances within
the Commonwealth unless licensed by the Board to sell controlled substances.

B. Facilities from which practitioners of the healing arts dispense controlled
substances shall obtain a permit from the Board and comply with the regulations
for practitioners of the healing arts to sell controlled substances. Facilities
in which only one practitioner of the healing arts is licensed by the Board to
sell controlled substances shall be exempt from fees associated with obtaining
and renewing such permit.

C. The Board of Pharmacy may issue a limited-use license for the purpose of
dispensing Schedule VI controlled substances, excluding the combination of
misoprostol and methotrexate, and hypodermic syringes and needles for the
administration of prescribed controlled substances to a doctor of medicine,
osteopathic medicine, or podiatry, an advanced practice registered nurse, or a
physician assistant, provided that such limited-use licensee is practicing at a
nonprofit facility. Such facility shall obtain a limited-use permit from the
Board and comply with regulations for such a permit.
