RCNY § 5-122
(a)As used in this section: (1) "Not sell" shall mean not to have available for usual and customary dispensing at any time, except that this shall not include circumstances where the pharmacy customarily dispenses such drug or drugs that are temporarily not in stock and such pharmacy will be able to fill prescription within 12 hours after a customer requests that a prescription for such drug be filled.
(2)"Emergency contraception prescription drug" shall mean the named drugs, Plan B and Preven, and any other drug expressly approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as emergency contraception drug with a physician's prescription or when and as specifically authorized by law to be dispensed for emergency contraception without a prescription.
(b)Any pharmacy that does not sell an emergency contraception prescription drug shall conspicuously post a sign adjacent to each counter where prescription drugs are sold on which is displayed either the name of each such drug that is not sold and identified as the "morning after pill," or that states that "no morning after pills" are sold if all such drugs are not sold at such pharmacy.
(c)Any pharmacy that does not have an emergency contraception prescription drug available for immediate dispensing, and stocks such drug or drugs, shall conspicuously post a sign adjacent to each counter where prescription drugs are sold on which is displayed either the name of such drug or drugs not immediately available and identified as the "morning after pill" stating that such drug or drugs are not currently in stock but will be available within 12 hours after a customer requests that a prescription for such drug be filled. A pharmacy that cannot fill such prescription within 12 hours from original request shall post the sign identified in subsection (b).
(d)The signs required to be posted shall be not less than 8.5 by 14 inches, with letters sufficiently large to fill the entire space with appropriate borders and spacing between lines.
