Georgia HB1138 expands access to contraceptives by allowing pharmacists to dispense certain contraceptives without a specific written order.

Georgia HB1138, known as the "Increasing Access to Contraceptives Act," allows pharmacists to dispense self-administered hormonal contraceptives and administer injectable hormonal contraceptives without a specific written order from a patient-specific practitioner. This act requires pharmacists to complete a certificate program accredited by the American Council for Pharmacy Education or a similar health authority. It also mandates that pharmacists provide patients with information on contraceptive effectiveness, risks, and alternatives.
