What this bill does
The DEA Order Clearinghouse Act of 2018 proposes establishing a national system managed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to track and analyze controlled substance orders. This system would use an algorithm, potentially incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning, to identify potentially suspicious orders before they are filled. Registrants, such as distributors and manufacturers, would be required to submit orders electronically through this clearinghouse, with the DEA then reviewing them. The bill also outlines provisions for a contractor to handle the technological aspects of data analysis and for the DEA Administrator to consult with the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
This legislation would primarily affect entities registered to handle controlled substances, including distributors, manufacturers, and pharmacies. They would be subject to new electronic submission requirements for orders, with potential consequences such as denial, suspension, or revocation of their registration if they fail to comply. The bill also includes provisions for waivers for pharmacies unable to transmit orders electronically.
Introduced in the Senate in July 2018 by Senator Cory Gardner, the bill was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Its current status is "Introduced," meaning it has not yet been passed by Congress. If it were to advance, it would require passage by both the Senate and the House of Representatives before potentially being sent to the President for signature into law.
