RENEWAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check the box “YES” if, since your last renewal, you have had any disciplinary action against any license
issued by a government agency or if you have been convicted as defined in Section 490 of the Business and
Professions Code, or any violation of the law in this or any other state, the United States, or other country.
Traffic infractions not involving alcohol, dangerous drugs, or controlled substances do not need to be
disclosed. For the purposes of this section, “disciplinary action” means an adverse licensure or certification
action that resulted in a restriction or penalty being placed on the license, such as revocation, suspension,
probation or public reprimand or reproval.
Check the box “NO” if, since your last renewal, you have not had a license disciplined by another
government agency and you have not been convicted as defined in Section 490 of the Business and
Professions Code, or any violation of the law in this or any other state, the United States, or other country.

posted on the board’s website (Information Practices Act (Civil Code section 1798 et seq.) and the Public
Records Act (Government Code section 6250 et seq.)). You are also required to provide your residence address.
Email Requirement: Any individual licensed by the board is required to join the board’s email notification list
within 60 days of the issuance of a license or at the time of license renewal. The licensee must also update the
email address with the board’s list 30 days of a change (Business and Professions Code section 4013). You must

Mandatory Reporter
Under California law each person licensed by the Board of Pharmacy is a “mandated reporter” for both child and
elder abuse or neglect purposes. California Penal Code section 11166 and Welfare and Institutions Code section
15630 require that all mandated reporters make a report to an agency specified in Penal Code section 11165.9
and Welfare and Institutions Code section 15630(b(1) [generally law enforcement, state, and/or county adult
protective services agencies, etc… ] whenever the mandated reporter, in his or her professional capacity or
within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or observes a child, elder and/or dependent adult
whom the mandated reporter knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim of child abuse or elder abuse or
neglect. The mandated reporter must contact by telephone immediately or as soon as possible, to make a
report to the appropriate agency(ies) or as soon as is practicably possible. The mandated reporter must prepare
and send a written report thereof within two working days or 36 hours of receiving the information concerning
the incident. Failure to comply with the requirements of Section 11166 and Section 15630 is a misdemeanor,
punishable by up to six months in a county jail, by a fine of one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that
imprisonment and fine. For further details about these requirements, consult Penal Code sections 11164 and
Welfare and Institutions Code section 15630, and subsequent sections.
