Bill > S2837

This bill aims to improve the systems for identifying the diversion of controlled substances. It defines "suspicious orders" to include orders of unusual size, orders deviating substantially from a normal pattern, and orders of unusual frequency. The bill requires each registrant (someone registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration to handle controlled substances) to design and operate a system to identify suspicious orders, and to report such orders to the DEA. The Attorney General must establish a centralized database for collecting reports of suspicious orders and share information on suspicious orders with state authorities to assist in enforcing federal law. The bill also increases the civil and criminal penalties for failing to report suspicious orders or maintain effective controls against diversion.
