Prescription Freedom Act of 2023
The Prescription Freedom Act of 2023 repeals a federal requirement that certain drugs be dispensed only with a prescription. It shifts authority over these requirements from federal law to state law, meaning states would determine if prescriptions are needed for specific drugs. The bill directly affects pharmacists, patients, and healthcare providers who currently follow federal prescription rules for non-controlled medications. A key exception preserves federal authority for drugs used in pregnancy termination, maintaining existing requirements for those specific medications.
