Where in the world is Scott today? Miami Beach – at the WorldLink Medical Summit, where about 700 healthcare providers are gathered this weekend for a terrific program sponsored by Belmar Pharma Solutions.

And he gets the Saturday lunch slot, presenting “Compounded Meds: What Providers Need to Know Right Now” — a briefing on the policy, regulatory and practice issues providers need to have on their radar.

State boards and regulators are taking different approaches to some of the most important issues facing pharmacy compounding. There are 50 states and they don't synchronize. Needless to say, it is complicated. Mark Boesen, Jay McEniry, and Rachael Pontikes sorted it all out at CCH 2026.

Rather than making patients safer, California Assembly Bill 1990 imposes restrictions on licensed compounding pharmacies that are already subject to state and federal oversight. APC's Tenille Davis breaks it down on KTVU Fox 2: https://www.ktvu.com/video/fmc-0xglk5w9pf8101fy

"This law doesn't do anything to stop [bad actors or counterfeit drugs]. In fact, if this law passes, it will only encourage patients to get [compounded GLP-1s] through the grey market because they'll lose access to the compounded versions that they’ve been reliant on."

Tenille Davis, chief advocacy officer for the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding, is not in favor of limiting the ability to compound to GLP-1s.

When California's own Board of Pharmacy questions whether a patient safety bill actually improves safety, lawmakers should listen.

In a new op-ed for Capitol Weekly, Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding CEO Scott Brunner makes the case against AB 1990 — legislation that targets state-licensed compounding pharmacies under the banner of patient protection, while leaving illicit sellers and counterfeit operators largely untouched.

The bill imposes new requirements on already heavily regulated pharmacies, strips regulators of discretion through mandatory penalties, and duplicates existing federal and state law — all without addressing the actors who pose real risk to patients. California's Board of Pharmacy was not meaningfully consulted during drafting and has raised serious concerns.

A February 2026 Zogby survey also found users of compounded GLP-1s reported satisfaction and perceived effectiveness slightly higher than those using FDA-approved versions.

The real question for lawmakers: what problem is AB 1990 trying to solve, and who actually bears the cost?
