HOUSE BILL 333 IS NOW IN EFFECT
House Bill 333, which affects Kentucky’s rules related to
prescribing Schedule II controlled substances, took effect
on June 29, 2017.
The bill’s primary goal was to make it a felony to illegally
sell and distribute fentanyl, a deadly narcotic often associ-
ated with heroin, and other related substances. However,
HB 333 included another provision which directs state li-
censing boards to draft regulations which limit Schedule II
prescriptions to three days when treating acute pain. There
are exceptions to this restriction, but the provision has been
met with controversy.
The legislation will be explained at the 2017 KMA Annual
Meeting during the Meet the Mandates session on Friday,
Aug. 25, and at the Kentucky Physicians Leadership Academy
on Saturday, Aug. 26. Attorney Sarah Cronan Spurlock of
Stites and Harbison will be on hand to discuss House Bill 333
and what to expect as the law takes effect.
