Senate Bill # 278 w/SA 1 |
| Primary Sponsor: | Bushweller | Additional Sponsor(s): Rep. Mitchell |
| CoSponsors: | Sens. Hall-Long, Henry, Simpson, Sorenson |
| Introduced on : | 06/26/2012 | |
| Long Title: | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF THE MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTION AND DISPENSING OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, AND THE DELAWARE PRESCRIPTION MONITORING PROGRAM. |
| Synopsis: | Section 1 creates the Controlled Substance Advisory Committee, a designee/recommending body that previously existed only in regulation; makes numerous grammatical corrections; makes uniform the language pertaining to the Secretary’s duty to the public interest; codifies requirements applicants must meet before they are issued a controlled substance registration; adds discipline of one’s professional license as a basis to have a controlled substance registration denied or disciplined; limits the Secretary’s power to issue a rule to show cause order to those instances in which a registrant no longer meets the requirements for registration or has failed to complete mandatory continued education; increases the Secretary’s power to fine from $500 to $1,000 per offense; clarifies that all hearings contemplated by this Subchapter are governed by the APA; and revamps the Secretary’s power to temporarily suspend a controlled substance registration to create a process akin to that used by the Board of Medical Licensure & Discipline.
Section 2 corrects § 4798 (b)(9)(c) by deleting the word “prescribes” and replacing it with “dispenses”.
Section 2 of this bill also creates a new requirement that dispensers check the patient utilization report for the past 12 months of any patient that the dispenser has a reasonable belief may be seeking controlled substances for any non-medical reason. This provision was inadvertently omitted from the initial bill creating the Prescription Monitoring Program.
