1. After the Board has approved a
real-time, stop sale system pursuant to NRS
639.430 and adopted regulations establishing the requirements for the use
of the system pursuant to that section, the Board must notify each pharmacy in
this State of the real-time, stop sale system that has been approved, the
manner in which to establish the system in the pharmacy and the content of the
regulations.
2. Once a pharmacy receives notification
pursuant to subsection 1, the pharmacy shall obtain the real-time, stop sale
system and consult the system in the manner prescribed before completing any
sale or transfer of a product that is a precursor to methamphetamine, except
when the purchaser has a valid prescription for such a product. The pharmacy
shall obtain any information necessary from the person seeking the purchase or
transfer of the product to receive notice from the real-time, stop sale system.
3. Except as otherwise provided in this
subsection, if a pharmacy receives an alert from the real-time, stop sale
system that the sale or transfer of a product may violate NRS 453.355 or any other law which
prohibits the sale or transfer of a product that is a precursor to
methamphetamine, the pharmacy must not allow the sale or transfer to be
completed. The Board shall provide by regulation for exceptions to allow for
the completion of a sale or transfer:
(a) Despite such an alert if the pharmacist or an
employee of the pharmacy has a reasonable fear of imminent bodily harm.
(b) If a pharmacy experiences a mechanical or
electronic failure of the real-time, stop sale system.
4. A pharmacy that complies with the
provisions of this section is not liable in any civil action for using the
real-time, stop sale system or for any act or omission resulting from the use
of the system which is not the result of the negligence, recklessness or
deliberate misconduct of the pharmacy.
5. Failure of a person to use the
real-time, stop sale system as required pursuant to this section is a
misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000.
