NAC639.575. Voluntary closure of pharmacy.

     1. Whenever any pharmacy licensed by the Board is closed for more than 5 consecutive days for any reason other than an involuntary closure, the licensee shall notify the Board of the closure. The notice must be in writing, be given not more than 5 days after the closure, and state the reason or reasons for the closure and the anticipated period of the closure. Upon receipt of the notice, the Board will make such arrangements as it deems appropriate to provide adequate and continued security of all the controlled substances, dangerous drugs, chemicals and poisons which are owned or controlled by the licensee or on the premises of the pharmacy.

     2. If the licensee of a pharmacy dies or becomes legally disabled by a cause other than a mental illness for which provision is made in NRS 639.211 and the disability does not result in an involuntary closure, a member of the Board or one of its inspectors shall forthwith take custody of all controlled substances and dangerous drugs which are owned or controlled by the licensee or are on the premises of the pharmacy and thereupon proceed in the manner provided in NAC 639.570. The Board will also make such arrangements as it deems appropriate to provide adequate and continued security for all the chemicals and poisons which are owned or controlled by the licensee or are on the premises of the pharmacy.

     3. The licensee shall cooperate with the Board to promote the efficient administration of this section.
