What’s in it

This bill exempts free clinics, defined as a facility that is exempt from taxation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and that has the sole purpose of providing health care services without charge to individuals who are otherwise unable to pay for the services, from the requirement that every prescription issued for a prescription drug be transmitted electronically to a pharmacy. The bill takes effect upon enactment and is retroactively applicable to January 1, 2020.
