2002 LAWS OF MARYLAND

|
|
|

|
|
|
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 285(a).
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to "a drug to which §
21-220 of the Health - General Article applies" is substituted for the
former reference to "a prescription drug as determined under the Health -
General Article" to avoid confusion with the defined term "prescription
drug" and to identify the applicable section of the Health - General Article.
In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the reference to "a pharmacist" is added
to state explicitly what merely was implied in the former law, i.e., that
pharmacists may dispense controlled dangerous substances without a
prescription under certain circumstances.
In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to a prescription "for a
controlled dangerous substance" is added for clarity.
Also in subsection (c) of this section, the reference to requirements "for
records and inventories" is added for clarity.
Also in subsection (c) of this section, the former reference to "as amended
from time to time" is deleted as unnecessary in light of Art. 1, § 21.
Defined terms: "Authorized provider" § 5-101
"Controlled dangerous substance" § 5-101
"Department" § 5-101
"Dispense" § 5-101
"Drug" § 5-101
"Person" § 1-101
"Schedule II" § 5-101

(1) THE AUTHORIZED PROVIDER IS ASSOCIATED WITH A CONTROLLED
DRUG THERAPY PROGRAM AUTHORIZED BY THE ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE DEPARTMENT; OR
(2) AN EMERGENCY OR MEDICAL SITUATION EXISTS UNDER
REGULATIONS THAT THE DEPARTMENT ADOPTS IN COOPERATION WITH THE
MEDICAL AND CHIRURGICAL FACULTY OF MARYLAND.

change from former Art. 27, § 285(a-1).
