MINOR

The bill was updated from its introduced version to its engrossed version, incorporating new provisions that allow pharmacists to dispense Schedule III, IV, and V controlled substances based on oral prescriptions or faxed copies without a physical written prescription. Additionally, the text was cleaned up to remove formatting artifacts and ensure consistent numbering for the new sections.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded to explicitly authorize the use of oral and faxed prescriptions for Schedule III, IV, and V substances, whereas the original introduced text did not include this specific authorization.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new subsection (b) permitting pharmacists to dispense Schedule III, IV, or V controlled substances based on a lawful oral prescription or a facsimile copy of a written prescription, provided specific documentation and retention requirements are met.

TECHNICAL

Removed formatting artifacts and page headers from the introduced version and corrected line numbering and spacing in the engrossed version to align with standard legislative formatting.
