AI Summary

This bill amends and reenacts Louisiana's laws related to prescribing controlled dangerous substances. It provides for automatic registration of prescribers in the state's Prescription Monitoring Program upon initial application or renewal of a controlled dangerous substance license. The bill mandates that prescribers or their delegates access and review the patient's record in the Prescription Monitoring Program prior to initially prescribing opioids and at least every 90 days if the patient's course of treatment continues, with some exceptions. The bill also requires continuing education for prescribers with controlled substance licenses, including topics like drug diversion, best practices, and addiction treatment. The continuing education requirements will take effect on January 1, 2018, while the other provisions go into effect upon the governor's signature.
