S 6450 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires pharmacies to stock emergency contraception

This bill requires all pharmacies to stock emergency contraception (EC), defined as FDA-approved over-the-counter medications used to prevent pregnancy after sex. It mandates that pharmacies maintain EC in inventory, with no exceptions specified in the text. The policy directly affects pharmacies by requiring them to carry these medications, which patients can access without a prescription. The law would take effect 60 days after enactment.
