PA 21-182—sSB 694
General Law Committee
AN ACT EXEMPTING VET ERINARIANS FROM THE REQUIREMENT
TO REPORT CERTAIN DI SPENSED DIABETES DRU GS AND DEVICES
TO THE PRESCRIPTION DRUG MO NITORING PROGRAM
SUMMARY: This act eliminates a requirement that veterinarians upload to the
electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring Program’s (PMP) database, or report to
the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP), information on dispensed animal
patient (1) insulin and glucagon drugs and (2) diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis
devices.
By law, the PMP collects prescription data on most controlled substances (i.e.,
Schedules II-V) into a centralized online database to prevent improper or illegal
drug use or improper prescribing. As prescribing practitioners, veterinarians who
dispense controlled substance prescriptions must submit information on the
dispensed substances to the PMP or DCP.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Upon passage
BACKGROUND
Related Act
PA 21-192 (§ 5) makes identical changes to exempt veterinarians from
reporting to the PMP database dispensed diabetes drugs and devices, but it is
effective July 1, 2022.
