AI Summary
This bill allows registered pharmacists to prescribe and dispense hormonal contraceptive patches and self-administered oral hormonal contraceptives to individuals who are at least 18 years old or under 18 with a previous prescription from a primary care or women's health care practitioner. The bill requires pharmacists to complete a training program, provide a self-screening risk assessment tool, refer patients to their primary care or women's health care practitioner, and dispense the contraceptives promptly. The rules prohibit pharmacists from requiring an appointment and from prescribing and dispensing contraceptives to a patient who does not have evidence of a clinical visit for women's health within three years of the initial prescription.
