OK HB4431

Amends the Oklahoma Pharmacy Act to add physician assistants to the definition of "licensed practitioner" authorized to prescribe dangerous drugs, alongside physicians, dentists, veterinarians, optometrists, and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses

Updates prescriptive authority provisions to explicitly include physician assistants who have completed 6,240 or more postgraduate clinical experience hours and can prescribe without a practice agreement under Section 519.6

Allows pharmacies and pharmacists to rely on the Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision's list of physician assistants who have reported completion of the required postgraduate clinical hours for independent prescribing

Repeals duplicate sections of the Oklahoma Pharmacy Act (59 O.S. 2021, Sections 353.1 and 353.1a as amended by Chapter 343, O.S.L. 2025) to eliminate statutory conflicts

Effective date of November 1, 2026
