This clean-up legislation to the LAI Pharmacists bill, which allows for gluteal injections, authorizes pharmacists in New York to administer long-acting injectable (LAI) medications for treating mental health conditions and substance use disorders.

The Bill has passed both chambers and is waiting for the Governor’s signature.
