Legislation Details

117th Congress

To facilitate responsible, informed dispensing of controlled substances and other prescribed medications, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Rep. Rodney Davis — R — IL

Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to update materials that provide guidance for pharmacists, health care providers, and patients about when a pharmacist may decline to fill a prescription for a controlled substance. The updated materials would include information for pharmacists on how to verify the identity of the patient. Based on historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO estimates that costs to the federal government of developing and distributing those materials would not be significant.
