BILL NUMBER: S6698

SPONSOR: STAVISKY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the education law, in relation to the dispensing of
contraceptive drugs and devices that are self-administered

 
PURPOSE:

To reduce the number of unintended pregnancies by increasing access
contraceptive drugs for women in New York State.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section one provides that a non-patient specific regimen prescribed and
ordered under this chapter shall be deemed to be a prescription for all
purposes of the insurance law.

Section two provides that a licensed physician may prescribe and order a
non-patient specific regimen to a licensed pharmacist, for dispensing

contraceptive drugs and devices that are self-administered and approved
by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Section three provides that a licensed pharmacist may dispense a non-pa-
tient specific regimen of contraceptive drugs and devices that are self-
administered and approved by the FDA, prescribed or ordered by a
licensed physician, certified nurse practitioner, or licensed midwife.
It further provides that the dispensing of contraceptive drugs shall be
in accordance with written procedures and protocols developed by a phar-
macist and a licensed physician, certified nurse practitioner, licensed
midwife, or a hospital that provides gynecological or family planning
services. When drugs are dispensed, the pharmacist shall provide the
patient with a fact sheet, to be developed by the Commissioner in
consultation with the Department of Health and the American College of
Obstetrics and Gynecologists.  Prior to dispensing drugs under this
section, a pharmacist shall complete training.

Section four provides that acceptable formal continuing education shall
include training in contraceptive drugs and devices that are self-admin-
istered.

Section five provides that a certified nurse practitioner may prescribe
and order a non-patient specific regimen to a registered professional
nurse for dispensing contraceptive drugs and devices that are self-ad-
ministered.

Section six provides that a registered professional nurse may execute a
non-patient specific regimen ordered by a licensed midwife.

Sections seven and eight provide that a certified nurse practitioner and
licensed midwife, respectively, may prescribe and order a non-patient
specific regimen to a licensed pharmacist for dispensing,contraceptive
drugs and devices that are self-administered and approved by the FDA.

Section nine provides the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Women in New York State currently face barriers to accessing contracep-
tive drugs, as current law requires a patient-specific prescription from
a health care provider. This bill would allow New York State pharmacists
and registered nurses to dispense contraceptive drugs from a non-patient
specific order, written by a licensed physician, certified nurse practi-
tioner, or licensed midwife, bypassing the frequent difficulties
encountered in obtaining medical appointments at offices with limited
hours, long waits or inconvenient locations.

A.480, 2019 and 2020, referred to higher education. A.2632, 2017 and
2018, referred to higher education. Same as 5.3792, 2017 and 2018,
referred to higher education. A.8707A, 2016 referred to higher educa-
tion. Same as 5.7503, 2016 referred to higher education.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect 180 days after it becomes law provided the
commissioner of education is authorized to promulgate any and all rules,
regulations and measures necessary for implementation on or before such
date.

TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the education law, in relation to the dispensing of
self-administered hormonal contraceptives

 
PURPOSE:

To reduce the number of unintended pregnancies by increasing access to
contraceptive drugs for women in New York State.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

non-patient specific regimen to a pharmacist licensed and located in the
state, for dispensing self-administered hormonal contraceptives that are

tives from a non-patient specific order written by a licensed physician
or certified nurse practitioner, bypassing the frequent difficulties
encountered in obtaining medical appointments at offices with limited
hours, long waits or inconvenient locations.
