§ 45:14-58.
a. Nothing contained in this act shall preclude a practitioner from transmitting to
a pharmacist by telephone or electronic means a prescription, as otherwise authorized
by law, if that practitioner provides the practitioner's Drug Enforcement Administration
registration number and the practitioner's license number, or any other federally
identified number, as appropriate, to the pharmacist at the time the practitioner
transmits the prescription. b. Except as may be otherwise permitted by law, no prescription for any Schedule II
controlled dangerous substance shall be given or transmitted to pharmacists, in any
other manner, than in writing signed by the practitioner giving or transmitting the
same, nor shall such prescription be renewed or refilled. The requirement in this subsection that a prescription for any controlled dangerous
substance be given or transmitted to pharmacists in writing signed by the practitioner
shall not apply to a prescription for a Schedule II drug if that prescription is transmitted
or prepared in compliance with federal and State regulations. c. (1) Each vendor that sells, leases, or licenses for use an electronic health records
system that is used to electronically transmit prescriptions in this State on the
effective date of P.L.2017, c. 338 shall ensure that the system meets all federal requirements for the system to accept,
process, and transmit prescriptions for Schedule II controlled dangerous substances
no later than one year after the effective date of P.L.2017, c. 338 as a condition of continuing to sell, lease, or license for use the electronic health
records system in this State. Each vendor that commences selling, leasing, or licensing for use an electronic
health records system that is used to electronically transmit prescriptions in this
State after the effective date of P.L.2017, c. 338 shall ensure that the system meets all federal requirements for the system to accept,
process, and transmit prescriptions for Schedule II controlled dangerous substances
as a condition of selling, leasing, or licensing for use the electronic health records
system in this State. (2) The requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall not apply to a telemedicine
