By Representative Jinkins

ADOPTED 02/03/2014

    On page 3, after line 5, insert the following:

    "NEW SECTION. Sec. 3.  A new section is added to chapter 70.225 RCW to read as follows:

    (1) Test sites that qualify under section 2 of this act may not store in any form, such as hard copy, electronic, or digital, any data accessed from the prescription drug monitoring program database. Data may only be transmitted to those entities listed in RCW 70.225.040(3).

    (2) Access to data by the test site must occur under the supervision of the responsible person as designated by the department of health and human services, substance abuse mental health services administration.

    (3) Data may not be collected, disclosed, sold, or used in any manner, except as provided in this chapter."

    Correct the title.

EFFECT:   Prohibits test sites from storing data accessed from the prescription drug monitoring database. Clarifies that data may only be transmitted to entities that are authorized to receive data from the Department of Health under the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. Requires a "responsible person" as designated by the United States Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration to supervise the test site's access to data.
