# Indiana HB 1077 (2020) — Professional licensing agency.

Amends various statutes to conform to HEA 1269-2019. Removes the one year limitation on renewing the registration of a pharmacist intern. Provides that the terms for members of the Indiana athletic trainers board are "specified" rather than "made". Removes the requirement that an out-of-state provider's home state extend reciprocity to Indiana licensees when considering the out-of-state provider's application for a license to provide home medical equipment services on the basis of reciprocity. Provides that an out-of-state provider does not need to: (1) have a physical facility; or (2) maintain inventory; in Indiana in order to obtain reciprocity for the purpose of providing home medical equipment services. Reorganizes the home medical equipment services statute by separating the reciprocity requirements from the general license application statute. Updates terminology in the physician assistant statute to refer to collaboration rather than supervision in conformance with HEA 1248-2019. Specifies that a registration concerning the manufacture, distribution, or dispensing of a controlled substance is automatically revoked when: (1) the registration is surrendered for cause; or (2) the Drug Enforcement Administration terminates, denies, or suspends the registration. Makes technical corrections.
