BILL NUMBER:  S1043                     Revised 1/10

SPONSOR: STAVISKY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

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

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

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

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Amends section 6527 of the Education law by adding a new
subdivision 11 which provides that a licensed physician may prescribe
and order a non-patient specific regimen to a pharmacist licensed and
located in the state, for dispensing self-administered hormonal contra-
ceptives that are approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration
(FDA).

Section 2. Amends section 6802 of the education law by adding a new
subdivision 29 to provide a definition for "self-administered hormonal
contraceptives."

Section 3. Amends section 6807 of the education law by adding a new
subdivision 4 which provides that a pharmacist licensed and located in
the state may dispense a non-patient specific regimen of self-adminis-
tered hormonal contraceptives that are approved by the Federal Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), prescribed or ordered by a licensed physician
or certified nurse practitioner. It further provides that prior to
dispensing, and at a minimum of every twelve months for returning
patients, the pharmacist must provide the patient with a self-screening
risk assessment questionnaire, developed by the commissioner of health.
The pharmacist must also provide the patient with a fact sheet developed
by the commissioner of health.

This section also authorizes the commissioner to require training;
requires pharmacists to notify a patient's primary care provider when
self-administered hormonal contraceptives are dispensed under this
section, and makes it clear that the pharmacist retains the ability to
refuse to dispense a prescription if in their professional judgment,
potential adverse-effects, interactions or other therapeutic Compli-
cations could endanger the health of the patient.

Section 4.Amends section 6909 of the education law by adding a new
subdivision 11 which provides that a certified nurse practitioner may
prescribe and order a non-patient specific regimen to a pharmacist
licensed and located in the state dispensing self-administered hormonal
contraceptives.

  Section 5. Sets forth 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
to dispense self-administered hormonal contraceptives from a non-patient
specific order written by a licensed physician or certified nurse  prac-
titioner,  bypassing  the frequent difficulties encountered in obtaining
medical appointments at offices with limited hours, long waits or incon-
venient locations.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2021-2022: A.1125-A/S.6698-A - Referred to Rules.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This  act shall take effect eighteen months after it shall have become a
law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any
rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of this act  on  its
effective date are authorized to be made and completed on or before such
effective date.
