AZ HB2552

Requires pharmacies to fill all valid prescription orders, including emergency contraception, while allowing employees to notify pharmacies in writing of drugs they will not fill due to religious beliefs and requiring pharmacies to reasonably accommodate employees without causing undue hardship to the pharmacy or customers.

Mandates health professionals provide female rape victims with medical information about emergency contraception, verbally inform them that it will be provided upon request, and provide or prescribe emergency contraception at the patient's request within 72 hours of the rape.

Allows health professionals whose religious beliefs prohibit contraception to satisfy requirements by immediately referring rape victims to another available health professional who will comply with emergency contraception provisions.

Requires pharmacies to treat customers with respect and dignity and make good faith efforts to ensure seamless prescription services regardless of employee religious accommodations; violations constitute unprofessional conduct subject to disciplinary action.

Directs the Department of Health Services to administer a program to reduce unintended pregnancy by improving awareness of emergency contraception through information on its website and social media platforms.
