SB 607: Controlled substances.

Existing law requires a prescriber, with certain exceptions, before directly dispensing or issuing for a minor the first prescription for a controlled substance containing an opioid in a single course of treatment, to discuss specified information with the minor, the minors parent or guardian, or another adult authorized to consent to the minors medical treatment.

This bill would extend that requirement for the prescriber by applying it to any patient, not only a minor, under those circumstances.
