Current reports indicate that last year there were 385 deaths as a result of opioid abuse in the state. The final number of deaths for the year may be even higher. This bill addresses this problem using a multi-pronged approach. It strengthens our laws in several areas including: law enforcement, the program for monitoring prescriptions for controlled drugs, the education of medical providers, and insurance coverage for treatment. These changes represent important steps in what will be a lengthy process to tackle this complex problem. Specifically, the bill adds penalties for the possession and use of fentanyl that are equal to the penalties for the possession and use of heroin and crack cocaine. Fentanyl is a powerful derivative of morphine that in combination with heroin, increases the potency and danger of the drug. The bill also strengthens provisions relating to the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) by requiring dispensers to add information to the database on a daily basis and requiring prescribers to query the database for all initial prescriptions of schedule II, III and IV opioids. Prescribers are further required to periodically query the PDMP for the same patient for subsequent prescriptions. Another provision in the bill permits prescribers and dispensers to assign designees to fulfill these enhanced requirements. Prescribers of controlled drugs will also be required to complete continuing education in pain management and addiction disorder. In order to provide more consistency in insurance coverage for substance abuse treatment, the bill requires all managed care health plans in the state to use the same criteria for determining medical necessity. Plans also must provide two routine outpatient visits without a requirement for prior authorization."}], "source": "House Calendar 2A, 2016", "date": "2016-01-15", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 2A", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2016%5CNo%2002A%20January%2015%202016.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [{"date": "2016-01-14", "dated": "signed", "body": "S", "committee": "Judiciary", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "2016-0048s", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 1A", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2016%5CNo%2001A%20January%2007%202016.pdf"}, {"date": "2016-01-20", "dated": "signed", "body": "H", "committee": "Criminal Justice and Public Safety", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS FOR", "vote_yeas": 11, "vote_nays": 3, "amendment": "", "new_title": false, "cite": "HC 2", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2016%5CNo%2002%20January%2015%202016.pdf"}], "report_actions": [], "veto_message": null, "bill_note": null, "subject": "Public and Mental Health", "subject_source": "granite record", "house_committee": "Criminal Justice and Public Safety", "senate_committee": "Judiciary", "lsr": "2016-2758", "docket_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=2758&sy=2016&txtsessionyear=2016&txtbillnumber=sb576&sortoption=billnumber", "documents": [{"label": "Bill text", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/billText.aspx?id=27582016&txtFormat=html&sy=2016&v=current", "kind": "text"}, {"label": "Bill status page", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/Bill_status.aspx?lsr=2758&sy=2016&txtsessionyear=2016&txtbillnumber=sb576&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "status"}, {"label": "Docket", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=2758&sy=2016&txtsessionyear=2016&txtbillnumber=sb576&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "docket"}, {"label": "SC 1", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2016%5CNo%2001%20January%2007%202016.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 1A", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2016%5CNo%2001A%20January%2007%202016.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HC 2, page 1", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2016%5CNo%2002%20January%2015%202016.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "House Calendar 2A, 2016, committee report", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2016%5CNo%2002A%20January%2015%202016.pdf", "kind": "report"}], "amendments": [{"num": "0048s", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2016-01-14", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "2016-0116e", "kind": "Enrolled Bill Amendment", "where": "enrolment", "date": "2016-01-20", "body": "H", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}], "billtext": {"version": "Final version", "title": "", "analysis": "This bill:\n\nI.
