The committee is charged to ensure that resolutions, position papers, and similar proposals to the House of Delegates that seek to establish Association policy or action are made appropriate to and ready for consideration by the House. The committee shall act on all proposals submitted to it. Additionally, the committee is charged to systematically review the policies of the Association to determine their currency.

In addition to the traditional charge of preparing to conduct the business before the House, the Bylaws and Policy Development Committee is asked to examine and revise AACP policy on pharmacy technicians (supportive personnel) to guide the Association as primary care and other initiatives potentially change professional roles in pharmacy practice.
