HB 4198

Amends the Pharmacy Practice Act. In provisions concerning the dispensation of contraceptives, changes the contraceptives dispensed to contraceptives, including emergency contraception (rather than hormonal contraceptives). Provides that, if contraceptives, including emergency contraception, are dispensed or delivered to an adult individual on behalf of a minor, a pharmacist shall require positive identification of the adult individual if the individual is not known to the pharmacist or pharmacy employees. Provides that the amendatory provisions shall not apply if positive identification is not available and a pharmacist exercising professional judgment determines that a delay in dispensing the contraceptives may be detrimental to a patient.
