Access to Birth Control Act
HR 4084, the Access to Birth Control Act, requires pharmacies that stock contraception to provide it without delay when requested by a customer. If a requested method is out of stock, pharmacies must immediately offer referrals to nearby pharmacies or expedite an order. The bill prohibits pharmacists from intimidating customers, misrepresenting availability, breaching confidentiality, or refusing to fill valid prescriptions for contraception. It directly affects pharmacies nationwide, addressing reported refusals to provide birth control - particularly after the *Dobbs* decision - and ensures access to FDA-approved contraceptive methods without cost-sharing barriers.
