Enacting the opioid patients right to know act to require the disclosure of the risks associated with prescribed opioid use.

Summary

The bill would obligate prescribers to discuss the dangers of opioid pain relievers with patients—or a parent for minors—before issuing an initial prescription. It also mandates a record of that discussion and excludes cancer, hospice, long‑term care, and substance‑abuse treatment patients. The goal is to improve patient awareness and reduce misuse.
