Bill > HB1811

This bill amends the Illinois Controlled Substances Act to modify the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) regulations, specifically focusing on interstate data sharing. The bill introduces a new requirement that interstate data sharing agreements must be mutual, meaning that the Illinois Department of Human Services will only share prescription monitoring data with another state if that state provides reciprocal, equal access to its data. This access must be available to all authorized users, licensed healthcare entities, and application vendors, regardless of how they connect to the Prescription Monitoring Program. The bill aims to ensure fairness and comprehensive data sharing between states while maintaining strict security and privacy standards. Additionally, the bill reinforces existing provisions about integration vendors, electronic health record systems, and other entities connecting to the PMP, emphasizing the need for data security, customer choice in integration methods, and compliance with state and federal regulations. These changes are designed to improve the effectiveness and accessibility of prescription drug monitoring across state lines while protecting patient information.
