  1 13    This bill relates to requiring reports for certain
  1 14 precursor substances and extending an information program for
  1 15 drug prescribing and dispensing.
  1 16    The bill adds iodine and N=phenethyl=4=piperidone to the
  1 17 list of precursor substances which require a manufacturer,
  1 18 retailer, or other person who transfers such a substance, to
  1 19 report the transfer to the board of pharmacy as provided in
  1 20 Code chapter 124B.  "Precursor substance" is defined in Code
  1 21 chapter 124B to mean a substance which may be used as a
  1 22 precursor in the illegal production of a controlled substance
  1 23 and is specified under Code section 124B.2.
  1 24    The bill also extends the authorization of the board of
  1 25 pharmacy to establish and administer a prescription drug
  1 26 database program containing a record of the dispensing of
  1 27 prescriptions for identified controlled substances.  The
  1 28 purpose of the program extended by the bill is to collect
  1 29 information regarding the dispensing of controlled substance
  1 30 prescriptions by pharmacies in order to improve patient health
  1 31 care by facilitating the early identification of patients who
  1 32 may be at risk for addiction, or who may be using, abusing, or
  1 33 diverting drugs for unlawful or otherwise unauthorized
  1 34 purposes.
  1 35    The bill extends the program from June 30, 2009, to June
  2  1 30, 2011.
