The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 150, seeks to amend chapter 400j of the general statutes regarding the dispensing of drugs prescribed for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The bill stipulates that a pharmacist is required to dispense such medications only if the patient presents a valid prescription along with a quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) brain map specifically produced for the patient.
This legislative change aims to clarify the conditions under which pharmacists can dispense ADHD medications, thereby ensuring that patients have undergone appropriate diagnostic procedures before receiving treatment. The bill does not indicate any deletions from current law but introduces new requirements for the dispensing process.
