Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs announced Thursday that birth control pills and other hormonal contraceptives will be available to people over 18 at their local pharmacy without needing a prescription.

Until the latest announcement, women 18 years or older in Arizona seeking contraceptives needed annual prescriptions from a doctor to obtain them. Those under 18 will still need to have a doctor’s prescription to obtain contraceptives.
