Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to the controlled substances prescription tracking program; amending the timeframe for reporting prescriptions of controlled substances as specified; repealing the sunsetted pilot program; and providing for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends Wyoming's controlled substances prescription tracking program by changing the timeframe for reporting dispensed prescriptions from within seven days to by the close of business on the business day immediately following the dispensing date, ensuring quicker updates to the system. It also repeals a pilot program that has reached its sunset date, meaning it is no longer in effect, and establishes an effective date of January 1, 2016, for these changes. The program, which tracks prescriptions for Schedule II, III, and IV controlled substances, is designed to help prevent misuse while keeping prescription information confidential, only allowing its release to healthcare professionals when it can assist in preventing inappropriate use.
