What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, if a law enforcement officer encounters a suspected

controlled-substance violation involving certain prescription drugs or an

opioid-related drug overdose or death, or a law enforcement officer receives a report

of a stolen controlled-substance prescription, the officer must report to his or her law

enforcement agency the name and birth date of any individual involved in the

suspected violation, overdose, or death or from whom the prescription was stolen; the

prescribing practitioner; the prescription number; and the name of the prescription

drug. The law enforcement agency must then provide that information, as well as

notice of the suspected violation, overdose or death, or theft to the Prescription Drug

Monitoring Program. The program may disclose information provided by the law

enforcement agency to persons such as relevant practitioners and pharmacists.
