The 2006 Florida legislature enacted session law 2006-310, amending Chapter 499, Part I, F.S., which changed requirements for prescription drug pedigrees in some instances. It is the purpose of this rule to clarify authentication of pedigree requirements, clarify who is required to verify that a prescription drug, as of the time of receipt, matches the description on the corresponding pedigree provided with the drug, as well clarifying the information that should be found on the pedigree. The Department proposes to make changes in the authentication requirements for pedigrees, as well as delete out dated language no longer relevant because of statutory changes that became effective July 1, 2007 concerning prescription drug pedigrees.
