Approved March 3, 1936

1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
Section 1. No drugs, or medicines, or toilet preparations, except
soaps, or dentifrices or cosmetics, shall be manufactured, made, pro-
duced, packed, packaged, or prepared within this State, except under
the personal and immediate supervision of a registered pharmacist
or such other persons as may be approved by the Virginia Board of
Pharmacy after an investigation and a determination by the said
board that they are qualified by scientific or technical training or
experience to perform such duties of supervision as may be necessary
to protect the public health and safety; and no person shall manufac-
ture, make, produce, pack, package or prepare any such preparations
without first obtaining a permit so to do from the Virginia Board of
Pharmacy. Such permit shall be subject to such rules and regula-
tions, with respect to sanitation and equipment, as the said board of
pharmacy may from time to time adopt for the protection of the
public health and safety.

Section 2. Permits issued under the provisions of this section
shall be exposed in a conspicuous place in the factory or place for
which issued. Such permits shall not be transferable, shall expire
on the last day of December following the date of issue, and shall be
renewed annually.

Section 3. The application for such permit shall be made on a
form to be prescribed and furnished by the said Virginia Board of
Pharmacy and shall be accompanied by the required fee of five ($5)
dollars, which amount shall also be paid as the fee for each renewal
of such permit. Separate applications shall be made and separate
permits issued for each separate place of manufacture, making, pro-
duction, packing, packaging or preparation.

Section 4. The Virginia Board of Pharmacy may revoke a permit
for failure to comply with its rules and regulations promulgated pur-
suant to the provisions of section one hereof. Any person aggrieved
by any action taken by the said board of pharmacy under the provi-
sions of this act shall be entitled to have his complaint set down for
hearing by said board. Requests for such hearings shall be made in
writing and shall specify in detail the basis for the complaint, and the
hearing shall be held within ten (10) days from the date of the re-
ceipt of said request by the said board, or its authorized agent, unless
postponed by mutual agreement.

Any person aggrieved by any order of the said board of pharmacy,
entered after such hearing, may appeal therefrom to a court of record
of the place of his residence, at any time within thirty (30) days after
the entrance of the said order; and upon said appeal, the court shall
hear and determine the issues raised thereby de novo.

Section 5. Any person, firm or corporation, except a registered
pharmacy, who shall manufacture, make, produce, pack, package or
prepare within this State drugs, medicines, toilet articles, dentifrices
or cosmetics without a permit or after revocation thereof, shall, be
fined not less than fifty ($50) dollars, nor more than five hundred
($500) dollars for each offense.

Section 6. Nothing in this section shall be construed to apply to
the proprietor of a registered pharmacy.
