The purpose of this bill is to allow for expedited partner therapy. It would permit prescribing antibiotics for the partner of a patient without first examining the partner. It requires counseling by the physician. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Resources to develop outreach materials. The bill has limited liability for physician, physician assistants and advance nurse practitioners who prescribe in an expedited partner therapy setting. The bill makes changes to the licensing portions of the code to make it permissible for the various disciplines to prescribe without disciplinary actions from their respective licensing boards.
