In Minnesota, when a pharmacy intends to move to a new location, it must provide the Board of Pharmacy with a notice at least 60 days prior to the move. This requirement ensures that the Board has adequate time to review the new location for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including zoning requirements and facility standards. By giving this notice, the pharmacy helps to maintain continuity of service and compliance with state laws, which can ultimately contribute to patient safety and public health.

The other options do not align with the regulatory requirements set forth by the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy, which specifically states a 60-day notice period. This timeframe allows for thorough preparation and ensures that all necessary inspections and approvals can be conducted before the pharmacy begins operations at the new site.
