In what situation does a pharmacy's license not expire automatically?

A pharmacy's license does not expire automatically in the situation where a pharmacist works fewer hours. Pharmacies are required to have a sufficient number of pharmacists on duty to ensure safe and effective medication management. However, the specific hours a pharmacist works do not directly relate to the automatic expiration of the pharmacy license.

The other scenarios mentioned involve circumstances that can lead to potential issues requiring a pharmacy to take action to maintain compliance with state regulations, but they do not directly impact the automatic expiration of the pharmacy license. For instance, the removal of a pharmacist-in-charge (PIC) can create operational challenges that need to be addressed, but the license itself does not automatically expire. Similarly, having no inventory or a clerk resigning does not inherently lead to the expiration of the license; these factors may affect daily operations but do not put the license at risk of automatic expiration.
