HB 2307 Summary

• Increases annual transfer cap from Arizona State Board of Pharmacy fund to the controlled substances prescription monitoring program fund from $395,795 to $500,000.

• Streamlines registration and access procedures for medical practitioners by requiring regulatory boards to notify practitioners of their responsibility to register and having the state pharmacy board automatically provide access to those with valid licenses and DEA registration.

• Eliminates biennial renewal requirements for medical practitioner registrations, making access valid as long as practitioners maintain a current license and DEA registration.

• Clarifies that medical practitioners and their delegates are not liable for requesting, receiving, or failing to request data from the prescription monitoring program if acting in good faith.

• Requires the board to conduct annual voluntary user satisfaction surveys on the prescription monitoring program's database system and report results to legislative and executive leadership by December 1 each year.
