       AN  ACT   concerning criminal law.
       Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the
General Assembly:
       Section 5. The  Illinois Controlled Substances Act is amended by
changing Section 318 as follows:
       (720 ILCS  570/318)
       Sec. 318. Confidentiality of information.
       (a) Information received by the central repository under Section 316
and former Section 321 is confidential.
       (a-1) To   ensure the  federal Health  Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act and  confidentiality of substance use disorder patient
records rules that mandate the privacy of an individual's prescription data
reported to the Prescription Monitoring Program   received from  a retail
dispenser  under  this Act,  and  in order  to execute  the  duties and
responsibilities under Section 316 of this Act and rules for disclosure under
this Section, the Clinical Director of the Prescription Monitoring Program or
his or her designee shall maintain direct access to all Prescription Monitoring
Program  data. Any request for Prescription Monitoring Program data from
any other department or agency must be approved in writing by the Clinical
Director of the Prescription Monitoring Program or his or her designee unless
otherwise permitted by law. Prescription Monitoring Program data shall only
be disclosed as permitted by law.
       (a-2) As an active step to address the current opioid crisis in this State
and to prevent and  reduce addiction resulting from a sports injury or an
accident, the Prescription Monitoring Program and the Department of Public
Health shall coordinate a continuous review of the Prescription Monitoring
Program  and the Department of Public Health data to determine if a patient
may be at risk of opioid addiction. Each patient discharged from any medical
facility with an International Classification of Disease, 10th edition code
related to a sport or accident injury shall be subject to the data review. If the
discharged patient is dispensed a controlled substance, the Prescription
Monitoring Program  shall alert the patient's prescriber as to the addiction risk
and urge  each to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
guidelines or his or her respective profession's treatment guidelines related
to the patient's injury. This subsection (a-2), other than this sentence, is
inoperative on or after January 1, 2024.
