Certain sections of statutes apply to all state agencies and are not listed here. The following chapters and
sections of statutes create the duties and powers of the Board of Pharmacy and/or are administered by the
Board.
1. Minnesota Statutes Chapter 151 is the primary chapter that creates the Board and that the Board
administers.
2. Minnesota Statutes Chapter 214 contains provisions that apply to all health licensing boards, including
the Board of Pharmacy.
3. Minnesota Statutes Chapter 152 is the state’s Controlled Substances Act. Some of the Board’s powers
and duties derive from portions of this chapter.
4. Minnesota Statutes §609B.130 contains provisions relating to certain disciplinary actions and references
back to Section 151.06.
5. Minnesota Statutes Chapter 319B contains provisions relating to professional firms of which the Board
must be cognizant.
6. Minnesota Statutes §299A.297 requires the Commissioner of Public Safety to “provide information and
assistance upon request to the State Board of Pharmacy with respect to the board’s enforcement of
chapter 152”.
7. A number of other sections of statutes reference the Board but they are not administered by the Board,
nor do they govern the Board. (e.g. – there are sections that define controlled substances as those that are
either listed in Chapter 152 of the statutes or that are listed in the rules promulgated by the Board in
Chapter 6800).
The rules promulgated by the Board of Pharmacy are found in Minnesota Rules Chapter 6800.
