Bill Eases Prescription Process for Veterinarians

SB27 is a prefiled bill that wants to change Oklahoma’s rules about prescriptions for certain drugs that are considered controlled dangerous substances.

Normally, doctors and other practitioners must send prescriptions for these drugs electronically, but this bill says that some practitioners, like veterinarians, don’t have to do that. Instead, they can use paper prescriptions.

However, this exemption doesn’t apply to everyone, and the bill says that certain licensing boards must work with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control to make sure the rules are followed properly.

If passed, this new law will start on November 1, 2025.

Who will benefit from this law?

✔️Veterinarians: They can use paper prescriptions instead of electronic ones, making it easier for them to prescribe controlled substances to animals.
