What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill permits a pharmacist to prescribe and administer injectable hormonal contraceptives and prescribe and dispense self-administered hormonal contraceptives, subject to limitations described as follows.
The bill requires the Pharmacy Examining Board, after consultation with the Medical Examining Board, the Board of Nursing, and the Department of Health Services, and in consideration of guidelines established by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, to promulgate rules to establish standard procedures for the prescribing of contraceptives by pharmacists under the bill. The rules must include certain requirements for pharmacists prescribing, dispensing, and administering contraceptives, such as requiring a pharmacist to complete a training course, requiring a referral to a health care provider following a prescription, and requiring the contraceptive to be administered or dispensed as soon as practicable after the pharmacist issues the prescription order. In addition, the rules must prohibit a pharmacist from requiring a patient to schedule an appointment with the pharmacist for the prescribing, administering, or dispensing of a contraceptive and from prescribing, administering, and dispensing a contraceptive to a patient who does not have evidence of a clinical visit for women's health within the three years immediately following the initial prescription of a contraceptive by a pharmacist to the patient. A pharmacist who prescribes, administers, or dispenses contraceptives as permitted under the bill must comply with those rules, as well as other rules promulgated by the Pharmacy Examining Board.
