AB 50: Pharmacists: furnishing contraceptives.
This bill aims to amend certain laws related to the practice of pharmacy in California. It would limit the application of existing requirements for self-administered hormonal contraceptives to prescription-only medications, allowing pharmacists to furnish these medications without following specific standardized procedures. The bill would also allow pharmacists to furnish over-the-counter contraceptives, including a 12-month supply at a patient's request. Additionally, the bill would make conforming changes and declare that it takes effect immediately as an urgency statute.
