A bill requiring the e-prescribing of controlled substances has passed both chambers and will soon be on Gov. Eric Holcomb’s (R) desk for signature. SB 176, sponsored by pharmacist Sen. Ron Grooms (R), was amended in the House Health Committee to include e-prescribing language similar to the NACDS model language, and both chambers subsequently passed the bill unanimously. NACDS supported the on-the-ground efforts of the Indiana Retail Council to advance this critical bill.
