California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 2 — Healing ArtsChapter 9 — PharmacyArticle 19 — Disciplinary ProceedingsSection 4318

(a) Notwithstanding any other state law, and consistent with Sections 1 and 1.1 of Article I of the California Constitution, an individual or state or local officer shall not commence a criminal, civil, professional discipline, or licensing action concerning the manufacture, transport, distribution, delivery, receipt, acquisition, sale, possession, furnishment, dispensation, repackaging, or storage of brand name or generic mifepristone or any drug used for medication abortion that is lawful under the laws of the state.

(b) The board shall not suspend a license, revoke a license, or otherwise take disciplinary action against a licensee solely on the basis that the licensee manufactured, transported, distributed, delivered, received, acquired, sold, possessed, furnished, dispensed, repackaged, or stored brand name or generic mifepristone or any drug used for medication abortion that is lawful under the laws of the state.

(c) The board shall not deny an application for licensure, or suspend a license, revoke a license, or otherwise impose discipline upon a licensee solely because the licensee is licensed in another state and was convicted or disciplined in that state solely for an activity related to brand name or generic mifepristone or any drug used for medication abortion that, if performed in this state, would not be grounds for denial, suspension, revocation, or other discipline.

Notes

Prohibits criminal, civil, professional-discipline, or licensing actions over specified activities involving mifepristone or another medication-abortion drug when the activity is lawful in California, and bars board discipline solely on those lawful activities. The board also may not act solely because another state convicted or disciplined a licensee for conduct that would not support comparable action if performed in California.
