The bill H. 3916 proposes to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 44-53-150, which would allow for the over-the-counter sale of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine tablets. This legislation stipulates that these medications can be made available to the public without the need for a prescription or consultation with a pharmacist or healthcare professional, thereby facilitating easier access to these drugs.

If enacted, this bill would override any existing laws that require prescriptions for these medications, enabling individuals to purchase them directly from retail outlets. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, indicating a swift implementation of this new provision should it be passed.
