The House Health Committee advanced SB 144, a priority bill for members. The legislation will more closely align the existing pharmacy immunization law with the PREP Act. Specifically, the bill permits pharmacists, interns and technicians to administer any vaccine to patients aged 5 years and older. We expect the House and the Senate to give final approval to the bill next week. If all goes as planned, it should be on the Governor’s desk before summer recess.  The bill will be effective 90 days after it is signed.

The Senate Health Committee held the third and final hearing on SB (Senate Bill) 144, sponsored by Sen. Mark Romanchuk (R). The bill would allow pharmacists and technicians to provide all ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) immunizations to children. Witness testimony from all three hearings has been posted on the committee page. We are cautiously optimistic the bill will be reported from the committee before the holiday break but do not expect action in the House until 2024.
