HB 3175 requires the Texas Commissioner of State Health Services to issue a statewide order allowing pharmacists to dispense ivermectin without a prescription. The bill directs the commissioner to establish standardized protocols for dispensing the drug and mandates that pharmacists provide instructions on its proper use. Additionally, the bill grants immunity to pharmacists acting in good faith, shielding them from criminal, civil, or professional liability unless gross negligence is proven. Pharmacists must also submit an annual report on the volume of ivermectin dispensed.
