Bill Summary

An Act relating to the practice of pharmacy; authorizing pharmacists to dispense ivermectin upon certain federal approval and subject to certain conditions; providing certain immunities; authorizing promulgation of rules; providing for codification; and providing a contingent effective date.

AI Summary

This bill allows pharmacists in Oklahoma to dispense ivermectin for human use without a prescription, but only after the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves ivermectin for over-the-counter (OTC) use, meaning it can be bought without a doctor's order. Pharmacists will need to follow any standardized procedures or protocols set by the State Board of Pharmacy, which might include giving patients instructions on how to use the medication properly. Importantly, pharmacists who dispense ivermectin according to these rules and act reasonably will be protected from criminal charges, civil lawsuits, and professional disciplinary actions. The State Board of Pharmacy is also authorized to create any necessary rules to put this law into effect, and the bill will only become active once the State Board of Pharmacy confirms the FDA's approval of ivermectin for OTC use.
