Bill > HB3008

This bill modifies provisions related to the practice of pharmacy by expanding the scope of what a pharmacist can do, including allowing them to prescribe certain drugs and devices for conditions that don't require a new diagnosis, are minor and self-limiting, can be guided by specific lab tests, or are emergencies, and also permits pharmacists to order and administer vaccines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for individuals seven years of age or older, with specific exclusions for certain vaccines and a requirement for joint rulemaking by the Board of Pharmacy and the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts. Additionally, the bill clarifies that a pharmacist's actions must be consistent with their education, training, and experience, and within the accepted standard of care, and it adds a new ground for disciplinary action against a pharmacist, which is any act or omission that fails to meet the standard of care provided by other qualified professionals in similar settings. The bill also prohibits the board from taking disciplinary action against a pharmacist for lawfully dispensing or selling ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine for human use according to prescriber directions, unless the prescriber or patient inquires about the efficacy of these medications.
