TYLER, Texas (KLTV) – Michael Richardson speaks with David Davis, a pharmacy manager in Tyler, about a bill that would allow pharmacists to dispense ivermectin without a medical prescription.
The bill, put forward by State Rep. Joanne Shofner (R-Nacogdoches), was discussed in a public hearing on Friday. Gov. Greg Abbott has added the item to the special session agenda.
Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock) provided the following statement on the bill:
“House Bill 25 represents a promising step toward greater medical freedom and choice for Texans by increasing access to Ivermectin intended for human use. This would bring Texas in alignment with other states that allow residents to obtain Ivermectin without the permission of a doctor. I applaud Representative Shofner for her hard work on this issue, securing the support of nearly 80 of her House colleagues, and I look forward to our continued discussions of Ivermectin access in Texas.”
