Birth control bill killed in the Senate

BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) - For the third year in a row, the State Senate has killed a bill that supporters say would give women easier access to birth control.

It would require Idaho insurers to cover up to a 12-month prescription if requested by a doctor and patient.

Under current law, prescriptions for contraceptives can only be written for three months at a time.
