AI Summary

This bill amends the existing prescription monitoring program in Massachusetts. It adds a new sentence to the law, stating that registered participants required to use the prescription monitoring program prior to issuing a prescription must do so, and those who do not will be fined an amount set by the Department in regulations. This change aims to strengthen the use of the prescription monitoring program, which helps track controlled substance prescriptions to prevent misuse or abuse.
