Spa Prescription Drug Oversight Act." 35

and medical procedures. Many of these medical spas prepare and 38
administer prescription medications intended to be sterile, 39
either compounded or commercially available formulations, with 40
no regulatory oversight by the Board of Pharmacy, which raises 41
significant patient safety concerns. 42
(b) The purpose of this section is to license a medical 43
spa that prepares, handles, stores, administers, dispenses, 44
distributes, or otherwise uses prescription medications at the 45
medical spa or in connection with providing services. 46
(3) DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section, the term: 47
(a) "Adverse event" means any untoward medical occurrence 48
associated with the use of a prescription medication, whether or 49
not the event itself is considered prescription medication-50
