Allows mifepristone and misoprostol to be dispensed without patient or dispenser names/addresses on the label (with logs kept internally), making it easier to obtain medication abortion without the prescription revealing the patient's identity.
mifepristone or misoprostol may be dispensed without the name and address of the dispenser and patient included on the prescription label, provided that such label includes a prescription number or other means of identifying the prescription.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends education law to permit dispensing of mifepristone or misoprostol (medication abortion drugs) without including patient, prescriber, or dispenser names/addresses on the label, while requiring internal logs; this expands access to medication abortion by enhancing privacy, especially in contexts where disclosure could deter use. It also limits disclosure of logs to only strictly necessary records for criminal investigations.
