IL SB2011

Allows registered pharmacists to dispense Schedule II opioid prescriptions in lesser quantities than prescribed if requested by the patient, with the excess quantity becoming void.

Requires pharmacists to notify the prescribing practitioner within 7 days of dispensing a reduced quantity through electronic health record notation, facsimile, electronic transmission, or pharmacy records accessible by request.

Permits physicians to issue up to 3 sequential 30-day prescriptions (90-day supply total) for Schedule II controlled substances if medical necessity is documented and instructions specify earliest fill dates.

Does not conflict with existing Act requirements for opioid prescriptions or drug substitution conditions.

Becomes effective immediately upon passage.
