SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Schedule II drugs; identification required in filling prescriptions. Specifies that certain duties imposed upon a pharmacist in the delivery of Schedule II drugs may be undertaken by the agent of the pharmacist. The bill also provides that if the person seeking to take delivery of a drug listed on Schedule II pursuant to a prescription is not the patient for whom the drug is prescribed and the person is not known to the pharmacist or his agent, the pharmacist or his agent shall either make a photocopy or electronic copy of the person's identification or record the full name and address of the person. The bill also reduces the period of time for which the pharmacist must maintain records of the names and addresses or copies of the proof of identification of persons taking delivery of Schedule II drugs when they are not the person for whom the drug is prescribed from one year to one month. This bill is identical to SB 1150.
