A new law has been passed making picking up prescription medications easier.
Senate Bill 3213 was signed into law on August 21st. The bill allows for more types of prescriptions to be transferred electronically from one pharmacy to another.
In a statement, Illinois State Senator Steve McClure said “The idea here is simple, if one pharmacy is out of a specific medication, they should be allowed to transfer that prescription to another pharmacy so that no one misses out on important medications”.
The idea for the legislation was brought to Senator McClure by a constituent who is a doctor.
