S 2517 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires person picking up prescriptions for Schedule II controlled dangerous substances to present identification.

This bill requires pharmacists to verify the identity of anyone picking up Schedule II controlled substances (like opioids or stimulants with high abuse potential) by checking a photo ID (state/federal) or other acceptable identity documentation. The person must sign a logbook with their name, address, date, and time, and the pharmacist must confirm the name matches the ID and record the drug name and amount. Pharmacies must maintain these logs for two years, with strict rules limiting disclosure to drug recalls or law enforcement. It directly affects patients, caregivers, and pharmacists handling these high-risk medications in New Jersey.
