Bill overview
The Prescription Freedom Act of 2020 aims to reduce the FDA’s power to require prescriptions for medications. Specifically, it would eliminate the FDA’s authority to mandate that drugs be dispensed only with a prescription, allowing states to determine their own regulations regarding drug dispensing. However, this change would not apply to drugs intended to terminate a pregnancy, where the FDA retains authority. This legislation seeks to promote greater flexibility in how medications are accessed and distributed.
