Ohio Pharmacy CE audits & penalties

What happens if a pharmacist misses CE requirements in Ohio, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.

Pharmacist licenses renew biennially. ORC 4729.15(A)(4)-(6) codifies $250 renewal, a $37.50 penalty for renewal expired less than 3 years, and $337.50 for expired more than 3 years; however, the Jan 2026 LSC agency-fee table shows the Board's current renewal at $125 under rule 4729:1-2-07, so operative penalty amounts against the reduced base are not published. Practicing pharmacy on an expired license constitutes unlicensed practice subject to Board discipline.Verify with board
