Requires pharmacies to provide birth control and related medications without delay.
This bill would require pharmacies to provide FDA-approved birth control and related medications to customers without delay. It would also make sure pharmacies offer options like referrals or expedited ordering if an item is out of stock. This aims to ensure people can get contraception more easily and without facing intimidation or refusal.
Today, people seeking birth control sometimes face delays, refusals, or intimidation at pharmacies. Pharmacies also may not have clear duties for handling out-of-stock items. After this bill, pharmacies would be federally required to provide in-stock contraception without delay and offer specific options for out-of-stock items. They would also be prohibited from interfering with access or engaging in discriminatory practices. Violations could lead to penalties of up to $1,000 per day.
