The Senate Committee on Civil Law reported out an amended version of SB 339, sponsored by Sen. James Merritt (R). As proposed, the bill would have required that a pharmacy dispense all Schedule II controlled substances in a lockable vial. The amended bill would require a pharmacist to offer patients the option of receiving their prescriptions in lockable vials. NACDS is supporting the on-the-ground efforts of the Indiana Retail Council to oppose this bill, which is now eligible for consideration by the full Senate.
