End of Prescriptions: More Access, New State Rules for Medications.

This act removes the federal requirement for prescriptions for most medications, meaning many previously prescription-only drugs will become available without one. Regulatory authority for drugs will shift to individual states, potentially leading to varying access and purchase rules depending on where you live. An exception is made for drugs used to terminate a pregnancy, which will continue to require a federal prescription.
Key points
Most prescription drugs will be available without a prescription 6 months after the act becomes law.
Rules for drug sales and availability will be set by state authorities, meaning different regulations in different states.
Drugs intended for pregnancy termination will still require a federal prescription, regardless of changes for other medications.
