The House Health Committee unanimously voted last week to amend e-prescribing language into SB 176. The bill would require all controlled substance prescriptions to be transmitted electronically effective January 1, 2021. The bill contains similar exceptions to NACDS’ model language. Additionally, the amended bill contains language requiring a summer study of e-prescribing for all prescriptions. NACDS continues to support the on-the-ground efforts of the Indiana Retail Council to advance it.
