The Bureau of Drug Control has been asked to clarify the identification requirements for dispensing a CS. §44-53-360(i) states:
Excepting a mail order prescription dispensed in
compliance with Chapter 43 of Title 40 for which the
dispenser requires proper identification of the recipient,
a prescription for a controlled substance in Schedules II
through V may not be filled unless the dispenser knows
the recipient or requires the recipient to produce a
government issued photo identification, and the dispenser
notes the identification source and number on the
prescription, or in a readily retrievable log including:
(1) prescription number;
(2) date prescription filled;
(3) number and type of identification;
(4) initials of person obtaining and recording
information.
A government-issued photo identification (ID) could include a
state-issued ID or driver’s license, valid passport, military ID, or
concealed weapons permit.
