Section 392-2-7-1 - Licensure
1. Application

The pharmacy technician shall complete the application supplied by the board and provide such other information as the board may require, along with the fee required by Chapter 10 of the rules of the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation, Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation, entitled "Establishment of License Fees." Applications will not be considered for approval until they are complete. Applications that remain incomplete for more than 60 days will be discarded.

2. Qualifications

The applicant shall supply verification of licensure or registration for all states in which the applicant has at any time held any type of professional or occupational license. The board may refuse to register and may refuse to renew the registration of an applicant:

A. Whose pharmacy technician license or registration has been denied, revoked, suspended or restricted in any jurisdiction for disciplinary reasons; or
B. Who has been convicted of a crime involving alcohol or drugs. This restriction is subject to consideration and waiver by the board upon presentation of satisfactory evidence that the conviction does not impair the ability of the person to conduct, with safety to the public, the duties of a pharmacy technician.

[NOTE: The effect of a criminal conviction on an applicant's eligibility for licensure is governed generally by the Occupational License Disqualification on Basis of Criminal Record law, 5 MRSA §5301 et seq.]
