To qualify for pre-exposure medication, patients must present a recent negative HIV test, confirm they have no symptoms of acute infection, and not be taking contraindicated drugs. Pharmacists must complete specific training, provide written educational materials to patients, and direct those who test positive for HIV to appropriate medical care providers.

The law ensures that any increase in tax rates for the upcoming fiscal year remains within this five percent cap while protecting taxpayers from paying on installments due before the new rules take effect.
