MN HF2865

Requires licensed physicians and health professionals to report to the Board of Medical Practice any knowledge that another physician or health professional is diverting controlled substances for self-administration.

Clarifies that reporting controlled substance diversion must go directly to the board rather than to the Health Professional Services Program, which normally fulfills reporting requirements under practice acts.

Maintains existing exemption from reporting requirements when information is obtained through a physician-patient relationship and the treating physician successfully counsels the impaired physician to limit or withdraw from practice.

Applies the controlled substance diversion reporting requirement to all regulated persons under the health professions licensing statutes, not just physicians.

Becomes effective the day following final enactment.
