This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 19-02.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, specifically addressing the over-the-counter availability of ivermectin. The bill defines "ivermectin" as a medication approved by the federal food and drug administration for treating parasitic infections and clarifies that "over-the-counter" refers to medications that can be legally sold and purchased without a prescription.

The key provision of the bill states that, despite any existing laws, ivermectin suitable for human use may be sold and purchased as an over-the-counter medication in North Dakota. This change aims to facilitate easier access to ivermectin for individuals who may need it for treatment.
