PETS Act

This bill changes the federal law on state prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs), which track prescriptions of controlled substances. It adds veterinarians to the definition of a dispenser. When a veterinarian prescribes or dispenses a controlled substance for an animal, the veterinarian would report information about the animal's owner or primary caretaker instead of the animal. It also adds the reporting of non-fatal overdose events by prescribing or dispensing practitioners within 72 hours. It also changes a provision on drug misuse and abuse in the law from "may" to "shall."
