Resolution No. 106-6-10
Title: Task Force to Review and Recommend Revisions to the Controlled Substances Act
Action: Pass

Whereas, the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) was adopted in 1970; and

Whereas, the practice of pharmacy has changed significantly since the initial implementation of the CSA; and

Whereas, current provisions of the CSA could have the unintended effect of restricting and inhibiting the provision of pharmacist care;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that NABP commission a task force of interested stakeholders to review the provisions of the CSA and accompanying administrative regulations, identify those provisions that may require review and revision, and recommend legislative and regulatory changes to amend the CSA and accompanying administrative regulations.

(Resolution passed at the NABP 106th Annual Meeting, Anaheim, CA)
