End of Federal Prescription Requirement: Easier Access to Medications.
This bill aims to eliminate the federal requirement for prescriptions for most drugs, meaning citizens could purchase many medications without a doctor's visit. Decisions on which drugs require prescriptions would shift to state level. An exception is made for drugs used to terminate a pregnancy, which would still require a federal prescription.
Key points
Most drugs available without federal prescription 6 months after the act's enactment.
States will decide on prescription requirements, potentially leading to varying access depending on location.
Drugs for pregnancy termination will still require a federal prescription.
