AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah law currently requires the Department of Health and Human Services to produce and distribute an opioid safety pamphlet "as funding is available," covering topics like addiction risk, safe storage and disposal, pain management alternatives, naloxone access, and treatment resources; pharmacies dispensing certain opioid prescriptions are required to display this pamphlet only if they are able to obtain it from the department. This bill would remove the funding condition, instead requiring the department to create the pamphlet and make it available online at all times. It would also change pharmacies' obligations so that instead of simply displaying a pamphlet obtained from the state, pharmacies would have to print the pamphlet themselves and prominently display it at the point of sale, and it would eliminate the existing exemption that excused pharmacies from this requirement if they couldn't get the pamphlet from the department.
