    8  provisions of chapter 468 relating to orthotics or pedorthics do
    9  not apply to any licensed pharmacist or to any person acting
   10  under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist. The practice of
   11  orthotics or pedorthics by a pharmacist or any of the

   13  pharmacist shall be construed to be within the meaning of the
   14  term “practice of the profession of pharmacy” as set forth in s.
   15  465.003(13), and shall be subject to regulation in the same
   16  manner as any other pharmacy practice. The Board of Pharmacy
   17  shall develop rules regarding the practice of orthotics and
   18  pedorthics by a pharmacist. Any pharmacist or person under the
   19  supervision of a pharmacist engaged in the practice of orthotics
   20  or pedorthics is not precluded from continuing that practice
   21  pending adoption of these rules.
   22         Section 6. Subsection (3) of section 468.812, Florida
   23  Statutes, is repealed.
