Description

Unlawfully obtaining or attempting to obtain controlled substances; report required.  Provides that it shall be a Class 1 misdemeanor for any person to knowingly or intentionally deceive a prescriber in order to obtain a controlled substance or prescription for a controlled substance, or to fail to disclose to a prescriber from whom the person obtains or attempts to obtain a controlled substance or prescription for a controlled substance that the person has received the same or a similar controlled substance or a prescription for the same or a similar controlled substance within the previous 30 days. The bill requires any person authorized to prescribe, dispense, or administer controlled substances, who has reason to believe that a person has failed to make the required report, to report the incident to the local law-enforcement agency within three business days, and provides that persons making a report to a law-enforcement agency shall be immune from civil liability.
