Professional regulation
Under current law, the pharmacy examining board administers a program to monitor the dispensing of prescription drugs in this state by pharmacists and by persons authorized to write prescriptions for patients. Current law also requires DSPS to seek federal moneys to fund the establishment and initial operation of that prescription drug monitoring program.
This bill eliminates that federal funding requirement and other related provisions. The bill also authorizes the expenditure of moneys appropriated to the medical examining board for the purpose of the pharmacy examining board's operation of the prescription drug monitoring program.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 20.165 (1) (hg) of the statutes is amended to read:
20.165 (1) (hg) General program operations; medical examining board; prescription drug monitoring program. Biennially, the amounts in the schedule for the licensing, rule-making, and regulatory functions of the medical examining board and the affiliated credentialing boards attached to the medical examining board, except for preparing, administering, and grading examinations; and for the pharmacy examining board's operation of the prescription drug monitoring program under s. 450.19. Ninety percent of all moneys received for issuing and renewing credentials under ch. 448 shall be credited to this appropriation.
****Note: This Section involves a change in an appropriation that must be reflected in the revised schedule in s. 20.005, stats.
Section
2. 450.19 (5) of the statutes is repealed.
