AK HB31

Establishes regulations for dispensing, administering, and repackaging schedule II and III controlled substances to workers' compensation employees, requiring compliance with retail pharmacy standards.

Requires providers to identify the national drug code for controlled substances and repackaged drugs, with pricing limited to the medical assistance program reimbursement rate if that rate is lower than authorized amounts.

Exempts drug samples dispensed without charge, controlled substances used in surgical procedures (up to 14 days post-surgery), and substances used in approved clinical trials from these restrictions.

Adds disciplinary grounds for dentists, physicians, nurses, and advanced practice providers who violate the controlled substance dispensing requirements, with potential license suspension or revocation.

Requires professional licensing boards (dentistry, medicine, nursing) to adopt regulations implementing these workers' compensation controlled substance requirements.
