The 2012 Legislature passed Substitute Senate Bill 6105, requiring the Department of Health, to work with the Veterinary Board of Governors to set alternative PMP reporting requirements for veterinarians dispensing controlled substances.  The bill also clarifies that controlled substances dispensed for one-day use do not have to be reported.

On June 26, 2012, the department filed a preproposal statement of inquiry, WSR 12-14-034.  This is the first phase of rule development and adoption.
