Summary as introduced:
Pharmacies; filling birth control prescriptions.  Requires any pharmacist who refuses to fill a prescription for contraception to ensure that the patient seeking such contraception is treated in a nonjudgmental manner and is not subjected to indignity, humiliation, or breeches in confidentiality, and states that the pharmacist shall not confiscate such prescription. Also requires any pharmacy holding a permit issued by the Board that refuses to fill or refill prescriptions for contraceptives to place a conspicuous notice as close as possible to the pharmacy counter that states, in both English and Spanish, "THIS PHARMACY WILL NOT FILL OR REFILL BIRTH CONTROL PRESCRIPTIONS" in at least 30-point boldface type.
