The article was from two days ago and says, “The House version of the bill has been placed on the regular calendar for consideration on Thursday, April 7.” which was yesterday. I haven’t run across anything about it yet.

I found this. Now it's saying "prescriptions", so I dunno. :(

Tennessee bill allows ivermectin prescriptions while preventing medical liability

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A Tennessee bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives and is on the way to Gov. Lee's desk would allow pharmacists to prescribe ivermectin to patients while protecting a pharmacist or doctor from being liable for the prescription.

HB2746/SB2188 is sponsored by Representative Susan Lynn (R-Mt. Juliet-D57) and Senator Frank Niceley (R-Strawberry Plains-D8) in their respective chambers. An original version of the bill allowed for the over-the-counter use of the anti-parasitic drug which became the center of debate during the pandemic as a possible treatment for COVID-19.

An amended version of the bill which passed in the State Senate and now moves to the House changes the legislation to allow prescriptions for adults at least 18-years-old. The bill states it "Allows a pharmacist to provide ivermectin to a patient who is at least 18 years old pursuant to a collaborative pharmacy practice agreement containing a non-patient-specific prescriptive order, developed and executed by one or more authorized prescribers."

The proposed law also calls on the Board of Pharmacy to establish risk assessment screening and a fact sheet for pharmacies. It also protects those dispensing the drug, the amendment stating "a pharmacist or prescriber acting in good faith is immune from disciplinary actions or civil liability."
