Access to Birth Control Act mandates pharmacies to provide contraception and related medication without delay.

The Access to Birth Control Act amends the Public Health Service Act to establish duties for pharmacies regarding contraception. Pharmacies must provide contraceptives or related medication without delay if in stock. If not in stock, pharmacies must locate a pharmacy with the item or order it. Pharmacies can refuse service only if it is unlawful to dispense without a prescription, based on professional clinical judgment, or if the customer requests an order. Pharmacies face civil penalties for violations. Customers can sue for violations with a five-year statute of limitations.
