To direct the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to promulgate the final regulations relating to special registration for telemedicine.
This bill directs the Attorney General, working with the Health and Human Services Secretary, to issue final regulations within one year of enactment. These regulations would establish a "special registration" process for healthcare providers using telemedicine to prescribe controlled substances under existing law. The bill itself does not create new policy but mandates federal agencies to complete a required regulatory step already outlined in the Controlled Substances Act. It affects telemedicine providers seeking to legally prescribe controlled medications remotely.
