1 | | AN ACT concerning regulation.
|
2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
4 | | Section 1. This Act may be referred to as Lali's Law.
|
5 | | Section 5. The Pharmacy Practice Act is amended by adding |
6 | | Section 19.1 as follows:
|
7 | | (225 ILCS 85/19.1 new) |
8 | | Sec. 19.1. Dispensing of naloxone antidotes. |
9 | | (a) Due to the recent rise in opioid-related deaths in |
10 | | Illinois and the existence of an opioid antidote that can |
11 | | reverse the deadly effects of overdose, the General Assembly |
12 | | finds that in order to avoid further loss where possible, it is |
13 | | responsible to allow greater access of such an antidote to |
14 | | those populations at risk of overdose. |
15 | | (b) Notwithstanding any general or special law to the |
16 | | contrary, a licensed pharmacist may dispense an opioid antidote |
17 | | in accordance with written, standardized procedures or |
18 | | protocols developed by the Department with the Department of |
19 | | Public Health and the Department of Human Services if the |
20 | | procedures or protocols are filed at the pharmacy before |
21 | | implementation and are available to the Department upon |
22 | | request. |
