Bill overview
This bill allows pharmacists in Arizona to independently order, perform, and interpret certain tests and initiate treatment for specific health conditions, such as influenza and COVID-19, under a statewide protocol approved by the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy. It outlines detailed requirements for documentation, referrals, patient screening, and pharmacist training. The bill also establishes an advisory committee to assist the board in developing these protocols and includes provisions for pharmacists to initiate and dispense pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis for HIV.
