Amends TCA Title 4; Title 14; Title 53; Title 63 and Title 68.

This bill authorizes a physician, physician assistant or an advanced practice register nurse to prescribe ivermectin by standing order, which is a written and signed protocol, and authorizes a pharmacist following a standing order to dispense ivermectin to a person without a prior prescription. This bill requires that the standing order for ivermectin specify a protocol allowing a pharmacist to: (1) Dispense ivermectin under the delegated prescriptive authority of the physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse; (2) Specify a mechanism to document screening performed and the prescription in the patient's medical record; and (3) Include a plan for evaluating and treating adverse events. This bill requires a pharmacist to provide each recipient of ivermectin dispensed pursuant to this bill with a standardized information sheet developed by the board of pharmacy, which must include a statement on the importance of follow-up care and health care referral information. The information sheet must not contain information that discourages the recipient from using ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. This bill prohibits a health-related board from taking disciplinary action against a physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse based on the physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse prescribing ivermectin via a standing order or based on a pharmacist following or failing to follow the physician's, physician assistants, or advanced practice nurse's standing order for ivermectin. This bill prohibits the board of pharmacy from taking disciplinary action against a pharmacist who follows or fails to follow a standing order for ivermectin; or follows a standing order for ivermectin based on a defect in the standing order.
