Your Advocacy in Action:

HB4154 passes the House 103–0.

A unanimous, bipartisan vote to modernize pharmacist licensure in Illinois; replacing the MPJE with a structured Illinois Pharmacy Law Education Module that strengthens competency while removing unnecessary barriers.

This is how we protect patient safety and expand access.
Thank you to our members, pharmacists, and advocates who made your voices heard.

Next stop: the Senate.

Stay engaged—our advocacy continues.

Your Advocacy in Action: HB4154, Amendment 2 has officially passed out of the House Health Care Licenses Committee on a vote of 14-0 and is now headed to the House Floor.

This is a critical step forward in modernizing pharmacist licensure in Illinois—removing unnecessary barriers like the MPJE while maintaining strong, education-based competency standards that reflect today’s practice.

This progress does not happen by chance. It happens because pharmacists across Illinois are engaged, informed, and speaking with one voice.

Stay engaged. Be ready. The House Floor is next.

Your Advocacy in Action: HB4793 has passed the Illinois House with a unanimous 109–0 vote.

This is what commonsense, patient-centered policy looks like. HB4793 empowers pharmacists to address non-therapeutic gaps in prescriptions, reducing unnecessary delays and ensuring patients get the care they need without disruption. It reinforces the role of pharmacists as accessible, trusted healthcare providers working collaboratively with prescribers.

Now, we build on this momentum. The Senate must act to move this important reform forward and continue improving patient access across Illinois.

Your voice matters. Right now, it is missing.

Pharmacy in Illinois is at a defining moment.

We are fighting for:
* Fair reimbursement and PBM accountability
* Protection of patient access across our communities
* A future where pharmacists are recognized and valued for the care we provide

These decisions are happening right now.

And if your membership has lapsed, you are not part of that fight.

IPhA is the Voice of Pharmacy in Illinois.

But that voice is only as strong as the pharmacists who stand behind it.

This is not about membership benefits.
This is about your profession. Your patients. Your future.

Now is the time to step back in.

👉 Renew your membership today and make your voice count.
