Bill > SB2321

This bill amends the Pharmacy Practice Act by introducing a new concept of a "first-choice pharmacy," which appears to be a pharmacy designated by a patient as their preferred location for filling prescriptions. Under this legislation, if a first-choice pharmacy is unable to fill or provide a patient's prescription, the pharmacy is permitted to forward the prescription order to another pharmacy that can successfully fill the prescription. This provision seems designed to ensure patients can receive their needed medications even if their preferred pharmacy encounters difficulties in dispensing the prescription. While the provided XML text does not include the full details of the amendment, the government summary suggests the bill aims to create more flexibility in prescription fulfillment and provide patients with a streamlined process for obtaining their medications when their first-choice pharmacy cannot immediately serve them.
