Bill Title: Amends the Pharmacy Practice Act. Provides that every licensed pharmacy directly serving patients at a physical location shall conspicuously post a sign provided by the Department of Human Services that contains the following: (i) a statement that a Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available; (ii) the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number; and (iii) any other awareness and assistance information the Department of Human Services deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, the National Emergency 9-1-1, the Poison Control helpline, and the 2-1-1 Illinois number. Provides that the sign shall be printed in color ink or displayed electronically in color, measure at least 8.5 x 11 inches in size, and be posted at either a cashier counter or a waiting area that is clearly visible to patients. Adds that compliance with a provision may be satisfied through electronic delivery of the notice where the patient has consented to electronic communications. Requires licensed pharmacies that do not maintain a physical location that directly serves patients, other than pharmacies described under a specific provision of the Act, to include a copy of the sign with any dispensed prescriptions. Provides that the sign shall also be available to download on the Department of Human Service's website.
