AI Summary
This bill proposes to allow ivermectin, a medication, to be sold directly to consumers without requiring a prescription from a doctor or a consultation with a pharmacist or other healthcare professional, as long as the person purchasing it is 18 years of age or older and the ivermectin is suitable for human use. This change would make ivermectin available "over-the-counter," meaning it can be purchased directly from a pharmacy or retailer without the usual medical oversight.
