Text

1. a. The board shall review the information received by the central repository to
determine if there is reason to believe:
(1) A prescriber or dispenser may have engaged in an activity that may be a
basis for disciplinary action by the board or regulatory agency responsible
for the licensing of the prescriber or dispenser; or
(2) A patient may have misused, abused, or diverted a controlled substance.
b. If the board determines that there is reason to believe that any of the acts
described in subdivision a may have occurred, the board may notify the
appropriate law enforcement agency or the board or regulatory agency
responsible for the licensing of the prescriber or dispenser. The advisory council
described in section 19-03.5-07 shall recommend guidelines to the board for
reviewing data and making determinations with respect to the referral of patients,
prescribers, or dispensers to law enforcement or appropriate regulatory
authorities.
2. A patient, dispenser, or prescriber may request that erroneous information contained in
the central repository be corrected or deleted. The board shall review the request to
determine if the information is erroneous with respect to the patient, prescriber, or
dispenser. The board shall correct any erroneous information the board discovers due
to the request for review by a patient, prescriber, or dispenser.
3. The board shall adopt a procedure to allow information contained in the central
repository to be shared with officials in other states acting for the purpose of controlled
substance monitoring and for requesting and receiving similar controlled substance
monitoring information from other states.
