Can a pharmacy technician lose their license for breaking a rule in another state?

Pharmacy technicians must adhere to the regulations and laws that govern their practice, which can include the conduct of individuals in other states. If a pharmacy technician breaks a rule or law in another state, particularly if that conduct is deemed to reflect on their professional standards or moral character, it can lead to disciplinary action, including loss of licensure, even if the violation occurred outside of Minnesota.

Licensure as a pharmacy technician generally requires compliance with all applicable laws, including those of other jurisdictions. States often have provisions allowing for disciplinary actions based on actions that would reflect negatively on the profession. This ensures that all professionals meet a standard of practice and behavior, regardless of where they practice. Therefore, if a technician is found guilty of misconduct in another state, it can have repercussions for their licensure status in Minnesota as well.
