Representatives Liston and Pettersen presented House Bill 17-1350 to the committee, along with amendment L.001 (Attachment G), a strike-below. The bill allows a pharmacist filling a prescription for a schedule II opioid to dispense the drug in smaller increments when the partial fill is requested by the patient or practitioner who wrote the prescription and the total amount dispensed through incremental fillings does not exceed the total quantity prescribed. The bill sets forth timing, documentation, and prescribing practitioner notification requirements concerning partial fillings of opioid prescriptions.
