Bill Summary

An Act relating to the practice of pharmacy; making certain products available without prescription; making certain requirements unlawful; providing criminal, civil, and professional immunities; authorizing promulgation of rules; providing for codification; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill aims to make certain products more accessible by removing the requirement for a prescription for non-narcotic medications, homeopathic treatments, and medical supplies in Oklahoma, with the stated goal of removing monopolistic barriers. It explicitly makes it illegal for any state agency, official, or health insurance provider (referred to as a "public or private health care payor") to mandate a prescription for these items. Furthermore, pharmacists are protected from criminal, civil, or professional penalties if they sell these products without a prescription, provided they act reasonably. The State Board of Pharmacy is authorized to create any necessary rules to put this law into effect, and the act is scheduled to become law on November 1, 2026.
