Act No. 167
Summary
The bill expands the pharmacy practice act so pharmacists can provide oral pills, vaginal rings, and patches without a patient‑specific prescription. It applies to adults and to minors who already have a prior prescription, and it requires the medical and pharmacy boards to create joint protocols. The change aims to increase access to birth control while keeping oversight through standing orders or written protocols.
