2. Detailed description of the objective of the proposed rule:
2013 Act 199 requires a person picking up certain controlled substances to present an identification card. The objective of the proposed rule is to implement 2013 Act 199 as it relates to length of time for maintaining the record of the name of the person presenting the identification card or the name of the person if personally known by the pharmacist. 2013 Act 199 also authorizes the Board to identify by rule other facilities to be included in the health care facility definition. 3. Description of the existing policies relevant to the rule, new policies proposed to be included in the rule, and an analysis of policy alternatives:
2013 Act 199 creates a new policy requiring the pharmacist or other person dispensing or delivering certain controlled substances to record the name on the identification card presented by the person or the name of the person personally known by the pharmacist to whom the drug is being dispensed or delivered. 2013 Act 199 requires the record to be maintained for a time established by the board by rule or until the name is delivered to the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. This proposed rule would establish the time for which the record must be maintained. This rule may also identify by rule other facilities to be included in the health care facility definition.
