[49 PA. CODE CH. 27]
[28 Pa.B. 5485] [CORRECTION]
Corrective Amendment to 49 Pa. Code § 27.26 The State Board of Pharmacy has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 49 Pa. Code § 27.26 (relating to pharmacy internship) as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau, and the official text as published at 28 Pa.B. 4532 (September 5, 1998), and as scheduled to appear in the November 1998 Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 288). Text following subsection (h)(3) was inadvertently omitted.
Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The State Board of Pharmacy has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 49 Pa. Code § 27.26. The corrective amendment to 49 Pa. Code § 27.26 is effective September 5, 1998, the date the defective official text was printed in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
The correct version of 49 Pa. Code § 27.26 appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulation.
