What must happen to the original pharmacy license after a change of ownership?

It remains valid until renewal
It becomes void
It needs to be returned
It is reissued with the new name

The correct answer is: It becomes void

In the context of changes in pharmacy ownership, the original pharmacy license becomes void. This is an important regulation that maintains the integrity of pharmacy operations and licensing. A license is specific to the owner and the specific entity to which it was issued. When ownership of a pharmacy changes, the new owner must apply for a new pharmacy license to ensure compliance with state laws and regulations. This requirement ensures that the new owner meets all the necessary qualifications and standards established by the state board of pharmacy, thereby protecting public health and safety. Retaining the original license could lead to confusion regarding accountability and compliance under the new ownership structure. The other options involve scenarios that do not align with the established regulations surrounding pharmacy licensing. For instance, a license remaining valid until renewal might imply that the original owner could still conduct business despite the change, which is not permissible. Similarly, requiring the license to be returned or reissued with a new name does not capture the fact that the license itself is no longer valid once ownership changes, rather than simply being amended or returned.
