Creates provisions relating to over-the-counter medications

HB 2293 would allow hydroxychloroquine tablets to be sold over-the-counter without a prescription or pharmacist consultation in this state. The bill specifically targets hydroxychloroquine availability, removing current prescription requirements for this medication. It declares the provision an emergency act to take immediate effect upon passage, though it does not address ivermectin's OTC status as stated. This bill directly affects residents seeking hydroxychloroquine for personal use without healthcare provider involvement. The bill is currently in early legislative stages (prefiled and read twice in the House).
