Arkansas Pharmacy Laws and Regulations Practice Exam

When do all technician permits, hospital pharmacy permits, ambulatory care center, wholesale distributors, wholesale CS distributors, medical gas, and schedule I permits expire?

1. 30th June of the second EVEN-numbered year following issuance

2. 31st Dec of the first EVEN-numbered year following issuance

3. 31st Dec of the first odd-numbered year following issuance

4. 31st March of the second odd-numbered year following issuance

The correct answer is: 31st Dec of the first EVEN-numbered year following issuance

All technician permits, hospital pharmacy permits, ambulatory care center, wholesale distributors, wholesale CS distributors, medical gas, and schedule I permits expire on the 31st December of the first EVEN-numbered year following issuance. This is because these permits typically have a two-year validity period and the expiration date falls on the last day of the year. Option A is incorrect because the expiration date would then be on the 30th June, which is not the end of the year. Option C and D are also incorrect because they refer to the first odd-numbered year or second odd-numbered year, which would not align with the typical two-year validity period. Therefore, B is the only correct option.
