What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill directs the Pharmacy Examining Board (board) to establish by rule a

program for monitoring the dispensing of certain drugs (generally, controlled

substances that current law permits certain licensed practitioners to prescribe). The

program must do all of the following: 1) require a pharmacist, physician, advanced

practice nurse, dentist, or optometrist to generate an electronic record documenting

each dispensing of a covered prescription and to deliver the record to the board,

unless the prescription is administered directly to a patient; 2) identify data

elements to be contained in such a record; 3) specify to whom and under what

circumstances such a record may be disclosed; 4) specify a format and a deadline for

delivery of such a record to the board; and 5) specify a penalty for a failure to comply

with program requirements.

The bill requires the Department of Regulation and Licensing to apply for

certain federal grants to establish and operate the program. If the department fails

to obtain federal funding before January 1, 2015, the bill is void.
