This bill makes three changes to Utah's prescription drug laws: it extends the window for refilling a prescription from one year to two years after the original issue date; it removes the requirement that pharmacists notify a prescribing provider when they substitute a therapeutically similar drug for a prescription lasting longer than 30 days; and it sets rules for when the state Department of Health and Human Services may issue standing prescription drug orders — broad authorizations to dispense a medication without an individual prescription — requiring that any such order be limited to a clearly defined clinical condition, cover only FDA-approved uses, and be clinically appropriate.
