Finance Committee advances bill expanding pharmacist authority with safety carve-outs; attempt to ban abortion drugs fails
The House Finance Committee on May 11 advanced House Bill 195 with amendments that align drug-schedule language to federal law, limit pharmacists from prescribing certain high-risk drugs (including those with REMS), and require prescribers of larger opioid prescriptions to offer naloxone. An amendment to explicitly bar pharmacists from dispensing abortion-inducing drugs failed.
