Repackaging of medications

Hello! The state of Nebraska has recently changed legislation that pharmacies can no longer repackage medications. Normally for our LTC/AL communities pharmacy would repack VA meds into our bublle pack system to ensure safety. Now with this new legislation pharmacy can no longer do this. Does anyone out there have experience with this? How do you ensure safety with medication administration when the medications can't be put into bubble packs?
