Controlled substances education and administration.

This Wyoming bill (SF 47) requires healthcare practitioners who prescribe or dispense controlled substances - including podiatrists, optometrists, pharmacists, and others - to complete three hours of annual training on responsible prescribing every two years. It also mandates electronic prescriptions for controlled substances and requires practitioners to check the state’s prescription tracking database before prescribing. The law affects licensed medical professionals by adding these specific continuing education and technology requirements to their renewal processes. The bill amends multiple statutes to implement these provisions, focusing on reducing misuse through standardized training and digital oversight.
