The bill aims to grant pharmacists the authority to dispense self-administered hormonal contraceptives directly to patients without a doctor's prescription. This would increase access to birth control by allowing individuals to obtain contraceptives from pharmacies, potentially reducing barriers to contraception. The main provisions include authorizing pharmacists to provide these contraceptives after assessing the patient's eligibility and providing counseling. The bill intends to improve reproductive health care by expanding access and convenience for individuals seeking hormonal contraceptives.
