The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6134, aims to amend the general statutes to mandate compensation for pharmacists licensed in the state of Connecticut for specific health care services. These services include the administration of vaccines, testing for flu or HIV, and the prescribing of contraceptives.

The bill seeks to enhance the role of pharmacists in the healthcare system by ensuring they are financially recognized for their contributions to public health. This legislative change reflects a growing acknowledgment of the important services pharmacists provide, particularly in preventive care and health management.
