   An act to amend Section 4022 of the Business and Professions Code,
relating to pharmacy.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1941, as introduced, Fletcher. Pharmacy: dangerous drug or
device.
   Existing law, the Pharmacy Law, provides for the licensure and
regulation of the practice of pharmacy by the California State Board
of Pharmacy. Existing law defines "dangerous drug" or "dangerous
device" for the purposes of this law.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive, technical change to that
definition.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 4022 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:

   (b) Any device that bears the statement: "Caution: federal law
