Practice of pharmacy; designating certain drugs as over-the-counter; prohibiting pharmacist or pharmacy from requiring prescription; providing penalties. Effective date.

SB 426 designates chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, and ivermectin as over-the-counter drugs in Oklahoma, requiring pharmacists and pharmacies to sell these medications without prescriptions. The bill directly affects pharmacists and pharmacies, prohibiting them from demanding prescriptions for these specific drugs. Violations carry severe penalties: license revocation and a $100,000 fine per occurrence, enforced by the State Board of Pharmacy. This law creates a concrete policy change by removing prescription barriers for these three medications at the point of sale.
