SB 2119 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

RELATING TO OUT-OF-STATE PRESCRIPTIONS.

This bill allows pharmacies outside the state to send prescription details to local pharmacies when a patient first fills a prescription written in another state. The main change is to authorize the transfer of information for the initial fill of out-of-state prescriptions, which currently may be restricted. This update directly affects patients who have prescriptions from other states and the pharmacies that dispense them. The legislation aims to streamline the process for handling these cross-state prescriptions by permitting the necessary data exchange.
