FL H0517

Creates the "Prevention First Act" to expand access to contraception and emergency contraception for rape survivors in Florida.

Requires health care practitioners and facilities to provide female rape survivors with medically accurate information about emergency contraception and immediately provide the complete regimen if requested, with fines of $5,000 per violation and $5,000 for every 30 days of noncompliance.

Mandates licensed pharmacies to dispense contraceptives without delay when in stock, prohibits employees from intimidating patients or misrepresenting contraceptive availability, and allows refusals only for lack of valid prescription, inability to pay, professional clinical judgment, or religious reasons with reasonable accommodation.

Establishes violations of contraceptive dispensing requirements as grounds for disciplinary action, license suspension, or revocation for pharmacists and pharmacy permittees.

Clarifies that contraception provision is not subject to Florida's chapter 390 governing pregnancy termination, and takes effect July 1, 2010.
