AB445,1,3 1An Act to amend 450.19 (2) (b); and to create 450.11 (1b) and 450.11 (9) (bm)
2of the statutes; relating to: identification presentation and monitoring for
3certain prescription drugs.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a drug, or controlled substance, is classified in one of five
separate schedules. The classification is based on 1) whether there is a currently
accepted medical use for the drug; 2) the drug's potential for abuse; and 3) the nature
of the dependence that use of the drug may produce. Controlled substances that have
a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use are included in
Schedule I. Controlled substances that have an accepted medical use and that have
the lowest potential for abuse and produce the least dependence when compared with
other controlled substances are included in Schedule V. In general, a Schedule I
controlled substance may not be dispensed, even with a prescription. A Schedule II,
III, or IV controlled substance may be dispensed, but only with a prescription. Any
person who dispenses a Schedule II, III, or IV controlled substance without a
prescription is guilty of a felony, the level of which depends on the classification of
the controlled substance. Under this bill, a Schedule II or III controlled substance
may not be dispensed unless the person who is picking up the drug shows his or her
identification card. Acceptable forms of identification are a driver's license, a state
identification card, a U.S. uniformed service card, or a U.S. passport.
Current law requires the Pharmacy Examining Board (PEB) to establish a
program to monitor the dispensing of certain prescription drugs, including Schedule

II and III controlled substances and other drugs identified by the PEB as having a
high potential for abuse. The program requires pharmacists or persons who
prescribe prescription drugs to generate records documenting the dispensing of
prescription drugs. The bill requires a pharmacist or other person who dispenses a
Schedule II or III controlled substance to record the name on the identification card
of the person to whom the controlled substance is dispensed.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
