Bill > H6174

This bill amends the "Protections for Healthcare Providers Act" to modify prescription labeling requirements specifically for medication abortion prescription drugs. The legislation mandates that prescription labels for these drugs must now display the name of the dispensing healthcare practice rather than the individual dispenser's name. The bill defines "medication abortion prescription drugs" as substances used to medically terminate a pregnancy, including medications like mifepristone and misoprostol. By changing the labeling requirement, the bill appears to provide an additional layer of privacy or protection for individual healthcare providers who prescribe or dispense abortion-related medications. The legislation will take effect immediately upon its passage, and represents a narrow, specific change to existing healthcare provider documentation requirements.
