The bill, known as the Jeff, Dave, and Angie Patient Right to Try Act, proposes the enactment of section 3792.08 of the Revised Code in Ohio, which outlines the conditions under which pharmacists, hospitals, and healthcare facilities may dispense drugs, including for off-label use, prescribed by physicians. It establishes definitions for key terms such as "health-related licensing board," "hospital," "in-house physician," and "off-label use." The bill stipulates that a pharmacist must dispense a prescribed drug unless there are specific moral, ethical, or medical objections documented. Additionally, it allows for the administration of drugs brought into a hospital by patients if certain conditions are met, and it mandates that hospitals must not obstruct patient transfers to other facilities willing to provide treatment.

Furthermore, the bill provides protections for healthcare professionals by ensuring that actions taken under this section are not deemed unlawful or unprofessional unless proven to be reckless or grossly negligent. It emphasizes the importance of patient consent and the right to discuss safety concerns regarding prescribed drugs. However, it clarifies that this section does not apply to controlled substances, certain drugs subject to FDA regulations, or drugs used for specific purposes such as euthanasia. Overall, the act aims to enhance patient access to potentially beneficial treatments while balancing the responsibilities of healthcare providers.
