What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill repeals an exemption from the requirement under the prescription drug monitoring program that a prescribing practitioner review a patient's records before the practitioner issues a prescription order for a monitored prescription drug to the patient. The exemption currently allows a prescribing practitioner to issue a prescription order for a monitored prescription drug without reviewing the patient's records if the prescription order is for a number of doses that is intended to last the patient three days or less and is not subject to refill. This bill repeals that exemption but does not affect any other existing exemptions from the requirement.
