Creates provisions relating to over-the-counter medications
This bill would allow residents to purchase hydroxychloroquine tablets over the counter without needing a doctor's prescription or consulting a pharmacist. It classifies the change as an emergency measure to immediately protect public health and safety. Currently, these medications require a prescription, but the legislation aims to remove that barrier for public access.
