Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 4052 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to prescription drugs.
AI Summary
This bill would allow pharmacists in California to provide patients with up to a 30-day supply of a prescription drug for a life-threatening condition if the pharmacy has previously dispensed that drug to the patient and the patient cannot get a new prescription before running out. This provision is intended to ensure continuity of care for serious illnesses, and the bill explicitly states that pharmacists and pharmacies will not be held liable for furnishing these drugs under these specific circumstances, with "life-threatening" defined according to existing health and safety code.
