Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the Iowa prescription monitoring program (PMP). The bill allows veterinarians to register for and access information from the PMP. The bill expands PMP reporting requirements to all schedule III and schedule IV controlled substances and to all schedule V controlled substances except for sales of pseudoephedrine that are reported to the real-time electronic repository. The bill also requires the reporting of other prescription substances that the PMP advisory council and board of pharmacy determine could be addictive or fatal if not taken under the proper care and direction of a prescribing practitioner. The bill changes the due date for annual reports to the governor and legislature regarding the PMP from January to February 1.
