Bill > HB4771

This bill amends West Virginia law to expand access to the Controlled Substances Monitoring Database, a confidential record maintained by the Board of Pharmacy that tracks the prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances. Specifically, it adds qualified examiners with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to the list of individuals and entities who can access this sensitive information, alongside existing authorized parties such as law enforcement, healthcare licensing boards, and prescribing practitioners. The bill aims to enhance oversight and potentially prevent the misuse of prescription drugs by allowing these federal examiners to review data, while maintaining the overall confidentiality and security of the database.
