Bill > HB3211

This bill, known as the "Accessible Prescription Labels Act," aims to ensure that individuals who are blind, visually impaired, or otherwise print-disabled can easily access information on their prescription drug labels. It requires pharmacies to inform every patient receiving a prescription that an accessible label is available upon request at no extra charge. If a patient identifies as having a print disability, the pharmacy must provide an accessible label that is timely, lasts for the duration of the prescription, and is appropriate to the individual's needs, offering options like audible, large print, or Braille labels that comply with established best practices. These accessible labels must contain all the same information as standard printed labels, including warnings and cautions. The bill also mandates that if a pharmacy provides a "prescription reader" – a device that audibly conveys label information – the prescription label must be compatible with it. Finally, the board of pharmacy is tasked with creating regulations to implement these provisions, with specific rules regarding their effectiveness and adherence to state administrative procedures.
