Accessible prescription information for Iowans with disabilities
Effective July 1, 2026, this Iowa law requires accessible prescription labels, bag tags, and medical guides upon request. It covers people who are blind, have a visual impairment, or have another print disability. Pharmacies dispensing prescriptions in Iowa must provide this information or refer the person to a pharmacy that does, without extra charges. After a reasonable development period, pharmacies must provide fully accessible information in a time comparable to service for other patients. Exceptions cover institutional pharmacies in hospitals, nursing homes, or long-term care facilities; donated drugs dispensed through the state's drug donation program; and pharmacies in jails, state or federal correctional facilities, or juvenile detention homes. The Board of Pharmacy must adopt rules by January 1, 2027, with input from people with these disabilities. Rules must meet current Government Accountability Office guidelines and industry standards, and require public notice, including notice about audio formats. The board must post a list of pharmacies offering accessibility measures by April 1 each year. By January 1, 2028, it must report implementation progress and recommendations for better access to the governor and legislature.
