The board shall establish a registration program for pharmacy support persons who work in a licensed pharmacy and who are not licensed pharmacists or registered pharmacy technicians for the purposes of identification, tracking, and disciplinary action for the violation of federal drug laws or regulations, state drug or pharmacy laws, or board rules. The registration shall not include any determination of the competency of the registered individual and, notwithstanding section 272C.2, subsection 1, shall not require continuing education for renewal.

The ultimate responsibility for the actions of a pharmacy support person working under a licensed pharmacist’s supervision shall remain with the licensed pharmacist.
3. Applicants for registration must apply to the board for registration on a form prescribed by the board.
