(a) The commission shall, when approving a new pharmacy license application, designate the class or classes, as listed in section 20-576-55 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, in which the pharmacy is approved for licensure. The commission has complete discretion to determine in which class or classes a pharmacy shall be licensed.

(c) The licensing of a pharmacy in more than one class, simultaneously, shall not result in an increase in the licensing fee.
