This bill amends section 38-28,104 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, under the Pharmacy Practice Act, to establish new requirements for prescription refills. It specifies that a prescription for a legend drug, which is not a controlled substance, must include detailed information such as the patient's name, drug name, dosage, quantity, and prescribing practitioner's details. Additionally, the bill introduces a provision allowing pharmacists to dispense an emergency refill of up to a thirty-day supply of a maintenance medication when there is no refill authorization and the pharmacist cannot obtain it from the prescribing practitioner.

The new language outlines specific conditions under which a pharmacist may provide this emergency refill, including obtaining prescription information from a label, record, or common database, ensuring the refill is not for a controlled substance, and using professional judgment to determine that interrupting therapy could harm the patient. The bill also includes a repeal of the original section 38-28,104, indicating a complete update to the existing law.
