House Bill 7095, relating to Prescription Drugs or more commonly known as the “Pill Mill Bill” was passed by the Florida Legislature on May 6, 2011, and signed by Governor Rick Scott on June 3, 2011. In essence, H.B. 7095 regulates all facets of the prescribing and dispensing of pain killers and controlled substances, from distributors all the way to pharmacists and doctors. One of the main aspects of the bill is its enforcement of s. 456.44 F.S.; which deals with the dispensing of prescription drugs such as pain killers and controlled substances; by making it a third-degree felony for not abide by the requirements set forth by H.B. 7095. In addition to the penalties H.B. 7095 may issue it also provides other measures to combat the “pill mills” such as the required use of state-approved counterfeit-proof prescription pads, requiring to keep and make available the prescription history of prescribed patients, limiting the amount of controlled substances that can be distributed to pharmacies, and not allowing physicians to dispense controlled substances or pain killers except for emergency purposes.…

South Carolina is a member of the interstate nurse licensure compact (National Council of State Board of Nursing, 2017). Being a member of the interstate nurse licensure compact, will allow the nurse more flexibility to practice in the different states within the compact state. The nurse can respond to a state of emergency located in the compact state. For example, with the most recent catastrophic event that occurred in Texas with the hurricane Harvey. The local nurses were over worked and desperately needed relief from the long hours in response to hurricane Harvey. Since Texas is a member of the interstate nurse license compact, this allowed a quicker response to the catastrophic event and the nurses where able to find relief from their duties quickly.
