An Act to enhance patient education and informed consent before issuance of opioids

This bill requires doctors to discuss non-opioid alternatives, specifically chiropractic care, with patients before prescribing opioids. It also mandates that physicians inform patients about the specific risks of addiction and the benefits of both opioid and non-opioid treatments. By updating state laws, the measure ensures that discussions about pain management include these specific options and data points.
