The bill establishes new regulations regarding the prescribing, ordering, dispensing, and administering authority of pharmacists and practitioners in Iowa. It explicitly prohibits any board that licenses these professionals, as well as their employers, from imposing restrictions that would deter them from using their best professional judgment when it comes to medications or treatments, as long as these actions are within their legally defined scope of practice.

Additionally, any such restrictions imposed by employers, regardless of whether they are documented in contracts or employee handbooks, are deemed unenforceable and cannot be used as grounds for disciplinary action. The bill further protects pharmacists and practitioners from licensee discipline when they act in accordance with their professional judgment and legal scope of practice. This legislation aims to enhance the autonomy of healthcare professionals in their decision-making processes.
