A pharmacist shall not be subject to any penalty or fine when fulfilling the pharmacist's obligation to uphold the health and safety of a patient which results in the pharmacist declining to dispense any legend drug.   It shall be a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by fine only, for the owner, manager or operator of a pharmacy to knowingly restrict or interfere with, or knowingly require a protocol or procedure that restricts or interferes with, a pharmacist's professional duty to counsel with patients and to evaluate the patients' appropriate pharmaceutical needs and the exercise of the pharmacist's professional judgment as to whether it is appropriate to dispense a legend drug to a patient.
