Gov. Mike DeWine (R) has signed HB 37, legislation sponsored by Rep. Gayle Manning (R), that allows pharmacists to provide 30-day emergency refills without contacting the prescriber. NACDS and the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants advocated for passage of this legislation that aligns with our efforts to make COVID-19 business efficiencies permanent. The bill will be effective June 1.
