This bill requires the state to share additional information about medical cannabis cardholders with South Dakota's prescription drug monitoring program—specifically their name, address, date of birth, and registry identification card number. The change ensures that pharmacists and prescribers can see which patients have active cannabis registrations when reviewing their prescription histories.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment NARROWS the bill by removing the requirement to report cardholders' gender to the prescription drug monitoring program, keeping only name, address, date of birth, and registry identification card number. This reduces the personal information collected about medical cannabis patients in the state system.
The amendment clarifies and expands the information that must be submitted to the prescription drug monitoring program from just a patient's name and date of birth to include physical address (or a note if homeless), date of birth, and registry identification card number—substantively BROADENING the bill's original scope by requiring more comprehensive identifying information be reported.
