Our House of Delegates ran smooth ly and efficiently under the guidance of House of Delegates Chair and Immedi ate Past Speaker Eric Larson and House Speaker Alexander Pytlarz.

They are eager take on the challenge in their new roles. During our annu al business meeting, we had sever al pharmacists who were honored for achieving the 50 year mark as a Flori da pharmacist. Those names have been showcased in this month’s journal.

We also had an excellent student track which included a mentorship event (thank you to all of our mentors who volunteered this year!), student poster presentations, a student game show and a patient counseling compe tition.

Priority 2 – Committee members are recommending that we advocate for changes to Florida laws that remove the barriers to practice and improve patient access to care through implementing statewide protocols as an alternative to physician signed protocols. This change would affect vaccine administration as well as testing and treating of patients for non-chronic conditions.

Executive Insight
Priority 3 – The Governmental Af fairs Committee believes that revisions to Florida laws and or rules should be considered to allow qualified techni cians who are practicing and registered in other states to “register by endorse ment” here in Florida. The Committee believes at a minimum there should be a requirement for assessment of the knowledge of Florida laws and rules as part of the endorsement process. The Board of Pharmacy should be charged
We have enjoyed a number of legislative and regulatory successes over the past few years and some may think that we fixed everything.

Priority 1 – Committee members are recommending that our PBM efforts should continue as our number one pri ority for the 2023 legislative session. The campaign should use the Gover nor’s Executive Order 22-164 as a tem plate for a bill.

Finally, I want to conclude by thanking Michael Jackson who has tirelessly served this organization for over 25 years. This was his final year at the helm running convention and as always, he did an excellent job! We want to wel come Helen Sairany as she takes the baton from Michael as we are confident she will continue to improve upon this amazing annual tradition we all look forward to each summer.
I also know that we will look forward to continuing to see Michael’s famil iar smile at convention for many years to come. (We just hope he will have some time next year to sit on a chair on the beach of Marco Island and take a dip in the pool!) So mark your calendars for next year’s Convention in Marco Island from July 5-9, 2023, as you don’t want to miss out (and be sure to bring a friend or two)!
Advocate if Opportunity is Available – The Committee discussed the issues surrounding the use of metrics, patient safety and workload in pharmacies. Our plans are to continue to engage in discussions with the Board of Pharmacy on this issue given the resistance that the Legislature has on regulating business practices. We also plan to be mindful of the impact that any policy statements may have on small businesses. The Committee will be interested in receiving the assessment of quality-based metrics described under resolution 2022-2 approved by the House at the 132nd Annual meeting. Recommendation of the Commit tee is pending results of the metrics assessment and further guidance from the Board of Directors.
On Sunday, August 21, the Board of Directors discussed at length the advo cacy plan recommended by the GAC and endorsed the campaign. The Board discussed a number of other issues including the need to address patient safe ty challenges in pharmacies as well as the inability for ACPE providers to offer the three-hour vaccine safety program that is restricted to a sole source provider. The FPA’s resources are not unlimited and as such the GAC will do every thing we can with what we have. This creates an opportunity for our members to call out members of our profession to get engaged and involved. Sitting on the sidelines waiting on something to happen is never going to be the answer to the challenges in our profession. It is one of the reasons why the rearview mirror in a car is always smaller than the windshield. Where you are going is always more important than where you have been.
When the election season is over, we anticipate that there will be interim com mittee hearings on the issues. We will be working to find bill sponsors, and it is expected that our student members will be called upon to play a major role in our campaign. A number of great ideas were floated around our Board of Di rectors meeting including inviting each of our seven pharmacy schools to take ownership of weeks when the Legislature may be meeting in the interim and during the regular session. The Capitol is still wary of COVID transmission and the preference continues to be small groups.
While we don’t have the dates for the November and January interim commit tee meetings, we do know that the 2023 legislative session will begin on March 7 and end on May 5 unless extended. Stay connected with the FPA and when you see a “call to action” message be prepared to “Lace Up and Don’t Stop”. n
