The bill S. 650 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 tablets in the state. This legislation stipulates that no prescription or consultation with a pharmacist or healthcare professional will be necessary for individuals wishing to purchase ivermectin.

Additionally, the bill provides immunity to pharmacists acting within the scope of this new regulation, protecting them from civil liability or disciplinary actions from their professional licensing boards. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
