Companion bills, SF 3154, and HF 3854, allowing pharmacists to initiate treatment for PeP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis) and PReP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), have been introduced by Sen. Scott Dibble (DFL) and Rep. Athena Hollins (DFL). The language has been updated from last session, reflecting the work of a broad coalition of supporters formed by the joint efforts of NACDS, the Minnesota Retailers Association, the Minnesota Pharmacists Association, patient advocates and the bill sponsors. The bills have been referred to the appropriate committee for further consideration.
