Bill Summary
Relative to reducing the risks of unintended fatal opioid overdoses. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to reduce the risk of unintended fatal opioid overdoses. It requires healthcare practitioners to discuss certain risks with patients, or their parents/guardians if the patient is under 18 and not emancipated, before prescribing opioid controlled substances. These risks include taking more than the prescribed amount, mixing opioids with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants, and the potential for dependence. The practitioner must also reconcile all patient medications prior to prescribing opioids and obtain the patient's (or their representative's) written acknowledgement of understanding the discussed risks.
