Regulations/Guidance
State laws regulating the practice of pharmacy in Minnesota fall into two categories: statutes and rules. Statutes are laws which have been enacted by the legislature and approved by the Governor. Only the legislature and Governor can change the statutes. The Minnesota Board of Pharmacy has the responsibility for administering all of Chapter 151 and parts of Chapter 152 of the Minnesota Statutes. Rules are written and adopted by the Board of Pharmacy.
