AN ACT relating to administrative regulations for medications for substance use disorder and declaring an emergency.

Summary

The bill invalidates specific Kentucky administrative regulations that limit how buprenorphine and similar Schedule III‑V drugs can be prescribed, dispensed, or administered for substance use disorder treatment. It also bars the state medical, dental, nursing, and pharmacy boards from creating new rules that would restrict these medications, while still allowing them to regulate other controlled substances. An emergency is declared so the changes take effect immediately upon becoming law.
