I agree with the proposed regulation of limiting work shifts for pharmacists.  In addition, I agree to the mandatory requirement that employers provide pharmacists a 30 minute break for a 6 hour work period with an additional 15 minute break if needed during a longer shift.  It is about time that the pharmacy profession joins the rest of the working population by giving pharmacists the break they need to stay fresh and minimize errors.  It has been far too long that employers have been allowed to force pharmacists to work long hours without a scheduled break.  It would be a complete disservice to all pharmacists as well as the patients they serve if this does not pass.

Thank you,
