Summary
Prescription Drug Monitoring Act of 2019
This bill expands the notification and reporting requirements with respect to potentially addictive prescription drugs for states receiving funds for a Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP). Dispensers of these drugs, which includes substances listed in schedule II, III, or IV of the Controlled Substances Act, must consult with the PDMP before starting treatment involving such drugs and report each prescription of such drugs to the PDMP within 24 hours.
