Protection from Overprescribing Act

This Act may be cited as the “Protection from Overprescribing Act”.

In determining whether to award a grant to a State in support of a State prescription drug monitoring program, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall consider whether each agency of the State that administers the prescription drug monitoring program pro­ac­tively analyzes data available through the State’s prescription drug monitoring program and provides reports to law enforcement agencies, prescriber licensing boards, and other agencies describing any prescribers that repeatedly fall outside of expected norms or standard practices for the prescriber’s field.
