SF 336 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the ordering and dispensing of self-administered hormonal contraceptives by a pharmacist pursuant to statewide protocols.

This bill allows Iowa pharmacists to order and dispense FDA-approved self-administered hormonal contraceptives (like pills or patches) directly to patients under statewide protocols. It affects pharmacists and patients seeking contraceptive care without requiring a separate doctor's prescription. Key provisions include requiring the pharmacy board to develop state protocols with health department input, mandating record-keeping, and ensuring pharmacists provide written records to patients. The bill defines "self-administered hormonal contraceptives" as FDA-approved products solely for preventing pregnancy. This changes how contraceptives are accessed, expanding pharmacist authority within defined guidelines.
