PEER investigated allegations of inequitable investigative procedures and selective enforcement of state laws and regulations by the Pharmacy Board and its former Executive Director. The Pharmacy Board’s practice of making its Executive Director totally responsible for the issuance of official board charges without written guidelines allows for inequitable enforcement of regulations. In addition, the board’s discretionary authority and failure to review violation and fine patterns in determining penalties for noncomplying pharmacists can result in inevitable penalties.
