What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the Pharmacy Examining Board (board) to establish a

prescription drug monitoring program (program) upon the board's receipt of certain

federal funds. Once established, the program requires a pharmacist or other

practitioner to generate a record documenting each dispensing of a prescription drug

that is covered by the program, generally certain controlled substances or other

drugs the board identifies as having a substantial potential for abuse. The

pharmacist or practitioner must then deliver that record to the board. Under current

law, a person who is licensed to practice veterinary medicine in Wisconsin is a

practitioner subject to the program.

This bill exempts licensed veterinarians from the requirements of the program.
