Senate Bill 122 creates new rules requiring doctors to take specific steps before prescribing Schedule II opioids for the first time, including informing patients of risks, documenting their pain history and substance abuse background, conducting a physical exam, and offering smaller prescription quantities. The bill also limits how many days of opioid medication can be prescribed at once—generally four days for emergency room patients and initial prescriptions, up to seven days for follow-up prescriptions, and just three days for minors and dental/optometric patients.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
