Summary


New Section R156-37f-302 clarifies that deposition testimony is included in the restrictions of Subsection 58-37f-302(2), prohibiting any individual or organization with lawful access to data from being compelled to testify regarding that data. New Section R156-37f-303 limits and protects access and use of opioid prescription information in the database by: 1) requiring an electronic data system accessing opioid prescription information to interface with the database through the Appriss Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) Gateway system, and to comply with all other database access and use restrictions of the Controlled Substance Database Act and Controlled Substance Database Act Rule; 2) requiring an EDS user who is accessing opioid prescription information via an electronic data system to register with the database, to use the same personal identification number (PIN) for all access, and to comply with all of the other access and use restrictions of the Controlled Substances Database Act and Controlled Substance Database Act Rule; and 3) establishing a proactive administrative action for the Division where the Division may immediately suspend an electronic data system's or EDS user's access to the database without notice or opportunity to be heard if the Division determines such access may lead to an unlawful release or use of database information under Section 58-37f- 601, or may otherwise compromise the integrity, privacy, or security of the database's opioid prescription information.
