This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 60A-2-204a, which specifically addresses the sale, distribution, and possession of ivermectin. The legislation allows for ivermectin to be sold and dispensed by pharmacists or pharmacies over the counter, and it permits individuals to possess the drug without the need for a prescription.

The intent of this bill is to facilitate easier access to ivermectin by removing prescription requirements, thereby enabling individuals to obtain the medication more readily. This change is significant as it alters the current legal framework surrounding the drug's availability in West Virginia.
