Legislation requiring all controlled substances to be prescribed electronically has also advanced in Kentucky. HB 342, sponsored by pharmacist Rep. Steve Sheldon (R), passed both chambers and is currently on Gov. Matt Bevin’s (R) desk for his signature. The bill contains exemptions similar to NACDS’ model language and would be effective January 1, 2021. NACDS appreciates the on-the-ground efforts of the Kentucky Retail Association on this important bill.
