The California Society of Health-System Pharmacists or CSHP regulates pharmacists in the State of California. If you hold a professional pharmaceutical license, you could be required to report a conviction for DUI to the CSHP. Generally, a felony conviction must be reported but may not result in the automatic loss of your pharmaceutical license. A misdemeanor conviction may have professional license repercussions depending on the circumstances of the case and whether or not the crime is substantially related to the functions of the licensee. Under Business and Professions Code section 4311, incarceration for a felony conviction triggers automatic license suspension.
