(III) IDENTIFYING AND APPRAISING PROBLEMS
CONCERNING THE USE OR MONITORING OF DRUG THERAPY.

(2) "PRACTICE PHARMACY" DOES NOT INCLUDE THE
OPERATIONS OF A PERSON WHO HOLDS A PERMIT ISSUED UNDER §§
12-601 AND 12-602 OF THIS TITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from the first
paragraph — except items (2) and (3) of that
paragraph — and the third paragraph of Art. 43,
§ 250(a).

The definition is stated in the infinitive form
to permit minor verb variations of the defined
phrase, without taking these variations out of
the scope of the definition.

As to paragraph (1) of this subsection, the
Commission to Revise the Annotated Code revised
the present phrase "{t}he 'practice of
pharmacy' is the practice that may include" to
read, "'{p}ractice pharmacy' means to engage in
any of the following activities". Research
revealed that the present term "may include" was
used only to indicate the disjunctive
relationship of the listed activities. The new
language retains that relationship, but directly
states those activities that are considered to be
within the practice of pharmacy.

In paragraph (2) of this section, the phrase
"person who holds a permit issued under §§ 12-601
and 12-602 of this title" is substituted for the
present phrase "manufacturer or wholesaler as
prescribed in § 269 and § 270A of Article 43..."
to clarify whose activities are not included in
"practice pharmacy".
