State legislation lets non-physicians practice medicine, as Trump signs into federal law $5.5 billion for next pandemic.
Kansas lawmakers have introduced legislation that would authorize licensed pharmacists to independently initiate medical treatment for influenza and other conditions—powers traditionally reserved for physicians—marking a significant expansion of non-physician medical authority at the state level.
The bill, House Bill 2676, was introduced by the Committee on Health and Human Services at the request of Representative David Buehler on behalf of Kansas pharmacists.

Campaign finance records show that Buehler has received contributions from healthcare- and insurance-linked industry groups and corporations—including the American Society of Anesthesiologists, Kansas Optometric PAC, the PAC of Kansas Ophthalmologists, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and Cigna Holding Company—entities with direct financial interests in expanded, protocol-driven medical delivery models.
If enacted, the measure would amend state pharmacy law to allow pharmacists to assess patients, interpret diagnostic tests, determine emergencies, and initiate therapy for specific diseases, including influenza.
The proposal comes as President Donald Trump recently signed federal legislation making $5.5 billion available for pandemic-related preparedness and response, funding that supports mass testing, mass dispensing, and rapid medical countermeasure deployment nationwide.
The Trump admin has also launched a $500 million influenza vaccine program.
The new Kansas bill also comes as the WHO recently vowed that “[t]here will be influenza pandemics in the future.”
