As part of the state's response to opioid abuse and addiction, lawmakers may consider proposals to establish limits on first-time opioid prescriptions, enhance the Prescription Monitoring Program, require electronic prescribing of certain controlled substances, and expand access to treatment for those addicted to opioids and other substances. Lawmakers also may consider recommendations to establish a "good Samaritan" defense to prosecution for certain drug offenses, a needle exchange program, and a statewide standing order to enable all pharmacies to provide naloxone to eligible persons without the pharmacy obtaining a physician's order.
