The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  G.S. 90-64, as the same appears in the 1975 Replacement to Volume 2C of the General Statutes, is hereby amended by designating the existing paragraph as subsection (a) and by adding a new subsection (b) thereto to read as follows:

"(b)      An applicant who has taken and failed to pass the examinations of the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy given pursuant to G.S. 90-61 after July 1, 1977, shall not be granted reciprocal licensure until at least five years of active practice in pharmacy, provided that nothing in this section nor in the Rules and Regulations of the Board shall prevent any person who has taken and failed to pass the examinations of the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy prior to July 1, 1977, from being licensed by reciprocity pursuant to board rules and regular regulations. An applicant for the licensure examinations in this State after July 1, 1977, who has registered as a candidate for licensure in another state shall appear before the Board of Pharmacy for explanation and clarification of the effect of this provision on eligibility for reciprocity in the event that the candidate is unsuccessful on the North Carolina examinations."

Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 16th day of June, 1977.
