Authorize the operation of remote dispensing pharmacies
This bill expands the role of licensed pharmacists by allowing them to dispense medications remotely and administer specific long-acting injections, such as those for addiction treatment, HIV, and mental health conditions. To qualify for these expanded duties, pharmacists must complete specialized training, maintain current basic life-support certification, and operate under strict protocols established by a physician. The legislation also outlines clear procedures for obtaining patient consent, ordering and evaluating necessary drug tests, and monitoring patients for adverse reactions after administration.
