The bill amends RCW 69.41.050 to modify the labeling requirements for prescription medications used for abortion. Specifically, it allows for the prescription label of abortion medications to include the name of the prescribing and dispensing health care facility instead of the name of the practitioner, at the prescriber's request. This change aims to enhance privacy and confidentiality for patients receiving abortion medications.

Additionally, the bill defines "abortion medications" as substances used to induce the termination of a pregnancy, including but not limited to mifepristone. The legislation maintains that a violation of these labeling requirements constitutes a misdemeanor. Overall, the bill seeks to provide more flexibility in how abortion medication prescriptions are labeled while ensuring patient privacy.
