AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Several changes to Utah pharmacy law take effect under this bill. It expands the list of prescription drugs that pharmacists — not just doctors — may prescribe to include vaccines and epinephrine (the medication used to treat severe allergic reactions). It also allows online sales of pseudoephedrine, a common cold medication that can be used to make methamphetamine, but only if the state's Division of Professional Licensing approves and implements a free, real-time electronic tracking system that can automatically block a sale if it would exceed legal purchase limits; if no such free system is available, online sales remain prohibited. Retailers selling pseudoephedrine online must collect and submit purchaser identification and purchase details to the tracking system before completing any sale.
