SB 383 - This act makes various changes to the state's drug laws.

A controlled substance analogue shall be treated like a controlled substance under state law (195.022). In effect, the same criminal penalties apply to such analogues. Various new drugs that have been identified in clandestine labs are added to the drug schedules.

Any person who reports information to the Department of Health in good faith shall not be subject to civil damages (195.045).

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH POWERS: The Department of Health may revoke or suspend a practitioner's registration to prescribe drugs if the practitioner has: 1) had his license to practice suspended or revoked; 2) furnished false information in any application; 3) been convicted of a state or federal felony drug law; or 4) has violated any law or regulation pursuant to Sections 195.005 to 195.425, RSMo.

The Department may revoke or suspend a manufacturer's registration to distribute controlled substances if the manufacturer's federal registration has been revoked or suspended.

The Department may place any drugs under seal at the time it revokes or suspends a registration.

RESTRICTIONS ON DOCTORS: This act includes the following restrictions upon doctors: 1) A doctor may not accept a controlled substance from a patient unless the doctor originally dispensed the controlled substance; and 2) A doctor may not prescribe or dispense a controlled substance for himself except in an emergency.

The term "apothecary" is replaced by the term "pharmacist."
