Died when the session ended The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died. What’s a funnel?

What’s in it

AI summary Pharmacists would be allowed to use their own judgment to refill a prescription one time every 12 months without needing new permission from a doctor. This refill can provide up to a 30-day supply of medicine, or a larger amount if that is how the medicine is normally given.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that in addition to existing provisions relating to the refilling of a prescription without prescriber authorization, a pharmacist may exercise professional judgment and refill a prescription once in a 12-month period and may dispense an amount not to exceed a 30-day supply, or if the standard amount of dispensing exceeds a 30-day supply or is unit dosed, an amount not to exceed the standard supply or limit of dispensing.
