Here’s ANOTHER update for the over-the-counter Ivermectin bill SB189:

It’s on the Agenda for Weds, March 5, 2025 at 10:00 am 
Room 272, State Capitol
in the Senate Public Health, Welfare, and Labor Committee

It’s scheduled first thing at 10:00 am!  

Please be contacting all of the Senators and Reps and let them know you want them to VOTE FOR SB189. Their email addresses are at the bottom of this alert.

Also, if you’d like to be there to testify for the bill, you’ll want to be there early to sign up.

Our previous email about this bill from Sat. March 1 is directly below.

—————————————-

The over-the-counter (OTC) Ivermectin bill for Arkansas, SB189, is moving through the Senate nicely and is scheduled for a lot of action on Monday, March 3, 2025. Senator Alan Clark has said that after the Senate Chamber gets through that afternoon, they will take the bill to the Senate Public Health Committee around 2:30pm. (Right now, there is nothing showing on the schedule for a 2:30 meeting. It only shows “Senate Chamber”.)

As of February 24, 2025, this bill has undergone multiple amendments and had been re-referred to the Senate Public Health, Welfare, and Labor Committee for further consideration. 

Here is Arkansas’ complete history of the Ivermectin bill for you to follow, and the bill has picked up many great sponsors along the way.

Secure Arkansas wanted to dive in and do a little more research for you so you can see for yourself that Ivermectin legislation is wanted all across the country!

We are witnessing empowered legislative efforts which truly reflect a broader national trend which cry out for access to OTC Ivermectin. The lawmakers hear us:  they are people in need of care and solutions, too.

Here are states that ploughed through early with legislation on Ivermectin:  

  1. New Hampshire – became one of the first states to pass a law allowing pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin without a prescription under a “standing order” system. Sadly, June 24, 2022, Governor Chris Sununu vetoed HB 1022.

  2. Tennessee – passed SB2188, a similar law allowing pharmacists to provide Ivermectin without a doctor’s prescription. In 2022, Governor Lee signed SB 2188 into law. Ivermectin can now be purchased through participating pharmacists without a traditional prescription.

  3. Nebraska – Their state attorney general issued an opinion stating that doctors can prescribe Ivermectin without fear of losing their medical licenses, though it’s not fully OTC.

  4. Missouri – passed laws protecting doctors and pharmacists who prescribe or dispense Ivermectin.

Other states with bills in 2025 – These states are considering or proposing equivalent laws. This year, they have seen legislative efforts aimed at making Ivermectin more accessible without a prescription, though not all have passed yet:

  • Missouri – bills newly introduced in 2025 — SB 744 and HB 1448 — which seek OTC sale of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine without a prescription or consultation with healthcare professionals. On February 26, 2025, the Missouri House has approved HB 1448 OTC sale of Ivermectin and Hydroxychoroquine.

  • Oklahoma – Introduced legislation — SB426 and HB1239 — supporting OTC access and limiting medical board investigations into doctors prescribing it. They seek to categorize Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine, and Ivermectin as OTC medications, thereby prohibiting pharmacists from requiring prescriptions for these drugs.

  • South Carolina – H3916 and H4042 — seek to allow the public to purchase Ivermectin without a prescription.  H3916 sought to permit the OTC sale of both Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine tablets without the need for a prescription. 

  • Georgia – In February 2025, Georgia State Senator Colton Moore sent out a message saying, “Georgia, we need Ivermectin over the counter, too! Getting bill drafted…”

  • Kentucky – HB668 proposes creating a new section in KRS Chapter 218A to allow the sale or purchase of Ivermectin approved for human use without requiring a prescription or consultation with a practitioner.

  • Pennsylvania – On February 14, 2025, State Senator Doug Mastriano announced plans to introduce legislation allowing Ivermectin to be available OTC in Pennsylvania. He emphasized that this initiative aims to “cut red tape, expand access, and empower individuals to manage their health without unnecessary delays.”

  • North Dakota – SB 2388, aiming to permit the over-the-counter sale of Ivermectin without a prescription. This bill failed to get out of committee so far.

  • Texas – HB 3175 and HB 3219.  HB3175 this bill proposes that the Commissioner of State Health Services issue a statewide order authorizing licensed pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin without requiring a prescription from a healthcare practitioner. HB3219 seeks to authorize pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin without a prescription, aligning with the objectives of HB 3175.  

  • Arkansas – SB189 aims to permit the over-the-counter (OTC) sale of Ivermectin for human use without a prescription or consultation with a healthcare professional.

States that have considered past measures to allow OTC sales of Ivermectin but did not move forward (and new legislation for 2025 needs to be proposed to remedy this):

  • Kansas – HB2126 — SB173 introduced in 2023 and 2024, but did not move forward. Also, they considered hydroxychloroquine tablets without a prescription, too.

  • Arizona – SB1416 was introduced in 2022, with the aim of mandating pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.

  • Alaska – HB383 introduced in 2022; the bill sought to remove Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine from the state’s definition of prescription drugs.

  • Louisiana – HB312 was introduced in 2024 but did not move forward, so hopefully in 2025, we will get to see new legislation there.

As you can see, states have become very active regarding this issue and thus will give us more freedom to access Ivermectin without unnecessary restrictions.

Ivermectin (IVM):

  • is an antiparasitic drug, but it has a wide range of biological applications.

  • was approved by USFDA in 2015 and made available as a generic medicine.

  • was registered for human use in 1987.

Doctors around the world have used this safe Nobel Prize-Winning Medication to save a countless number of lives!

The United States can make these helpful pharmaceutical drugs, such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, in our own country!

Let’s start doing that!
