If a prisoner in the custody of a county or city jail or detention facility requires prescription medication for any physical or mental illness, the jail or detention facility shall ensure that:

1. If the prescription is new, the prescription is transmitted to a licensed pharmacy and filled as soon as possible; or

2. If the prescription is a refill, the prescription is refilled on or before the date on which the current supply of the prescription medication is exhausted.
