AI Summary
This bill amends existing Illinois laws, the Medical Practice Act of 1987 and the Pharmacy Practice Act, to allow for flexibility in how certain prescription labels are printed. Specifically, for medications like mifepristone, misoprostol, or their generic alternatives, the bill permits the label on the drug's packaging to display the name of the dispensing health care practice instead of the individual dispensing the medication, if requested by the dispenser. Similarly, at the request of the prescriber, the label can show the name of the prescribing health care practice instead of the individual prescriber's name. This change aims to provide an alternative for labeling these specific medications, offering more options for healthcare practices.
