                      Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
          Under current law, certain drugs are classified in one of five separate schedules
    based upon certain factors. Controlled substances that have a high potential for
    abuse and no currently accepted medical use are included in schedule I. Controlled
    substances that have an accepted medical use, have the lowest potential for abuse,
    and produce the least dependence when compared with other controlled substances
    are included in schedule V. In general, a schedule I controlled substance may not be
    dispensed, even with a prescription. Current law also provides that a schedule II or
    III controlled substance may not be dispensed unless the person who is picking up
    the drug shows his or her identification card. Acceptable forms of identification
    include a driver's license, a state identification card, a U.S. uniformed service card,
    or a U.S. passport. Current law further requires that the name on the identification
    card of the person to whom the controlled substance is dispensed be recorded in the
    state's prescription drug monitoring program.
          This bill adds an identification card or document issued by a foreign
    government and bearing a photograph as an acceptable form of identification for the
    aforementioned purposes.
    The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
        enact as follows:
