SCS/HCS/HB 1563 - A pharmacist, in good faith, may sell and dispense controlled substances to any person upon a prescription of a practitioner located in another state, provided that: (1) The prescription was issued according to and in compliance with the applicable laws of that state and the United States; and (2) The quantity limitations specified under this act apply to prescriptions dispensed to patients located in this state. SECTION 195.060 Currently, the quantity of Schedule III, IV or V controlled substances dispensed at any one time is limited to a 90-day supply with the ability to increase the amount up to 3 months under certain circumstances. This act provides that such supply limitations shall not apply if the prescription is issued by a practitioner located in another state according to and in compliance with the applicable laws of that state and the United States and dispensed to a patient located or residing in another state. SECTION 195.080 Under current law, physician assistants who are authorized to prescribe controlled substances shall register with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and the State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and shall include such registration numbers on prescriptions for controlled substances. This amendment requires the physician assistants to only include the registration number from the Drug Enforcement Administration on the prescriptions. SECTION 334.747 This act allows a pharmacy to sell, purchase, or trade prescription drugs to pharmacies not licensed in Missouri if the total dollar amount of the sales, purchases, or trades are in compliance with the rules of the Board of Pharmacy, but in no event exceed 5% of the pharmacy's total annual prescription drug sales. Pharmacies must establish and maintain inventories and records of all transactions regarding prescription drugs for two years. This information must be readily available upon request by the Board of Pharmacy. The Board is authorized to promulgate rules regarding these provisions. SECTION 338.315 The Board of Pharmacy is authorized to promulgate rules allowing the distribution of drugs by out-of-state pharmacies in the event of an emergency or to alleviate a supply shortage.
