The bill proposes to amend Arkansas law to allow for the sale of ivermectin for human use without the need for a prescription or consultation with a healthcare professional. Specifically, it introduces a new section to the Arkansas Code, designated as 20-7-147, which defines "over-the-counter medication" and establishes that ivermectin suitable for human use can be sold and purchased as such in the state.

This legislative change aims to make ivermectin more accessible to the public by removing existing legal barriers that require a prescription or professional consultation prior to purchase. The bill emphasizes that this provision is applicable notwithstanding any contrary laws, thereby ensuring that individuals can obtain ivermectin without the traditional medical oversight typically required for prescription medications.
