This bill allows pharmacists to dispense ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to adults without a patient-specific prescription, as long as they follow a written protocol created by a licensed healthcare provider that includes risk screening and safety information. Pharmacists and other healthcare providers who follow the protocol in good faith are protected from criminal charges, lawsuits, and professional discipline—except in cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
The amendment expands who can develop the dispensing protocol from only physicians to any health care provider acting within their scope of practice, and consolidates liability protections for both pharmacists and other health care providers into one section.
