HR 3595 - Safe Prescribing Through Reporting Act of 2025

Overview

Bill Number: HR 3595
Title: Safe Prescribing Through Reporting Act of 2025
Status: Introduced in House
Introduced: May 23, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The Safe Prescribing Through Reporting Act of 2025 aims to improve patient safety and combat the opioid epidemic by enhancing prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) across the United States. The bill seeks to establish national standards and data-sharing requirements for PDMPs to help healthcare providers make more informed decisions when prescribing controlled substances.

Key Provisions

  • Requires all states to implement and maintain a PDMP that meets federal standards for data collection, reporting, and interoperability
  • Mandates healthcare providers to check the PDMP before prescribing controlled substances, with limited exceptions
  • Establishes a national PDMP data hub to facilitate real-time data sharing between state systems
  • Provides grants to states to modernize their PDMP infrastructure and promote integration with electronic health records
  • Imposes civil monetary penalties on healthcare providers who fail to check the PDMP prior to prescribing

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Healthcare providers (doctors, dentists, pharmacists, etc.) who prescribe or dispense controlled substances
  • Patients who are prescribed controlled medications, who would benefit from improved safety monitoring
  • State governments, who would need to update their PDMP systems to comply with the new federal standards
  • Pharmaceutical companies and distributors, who may face increased scrutiny and reporting requirements

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

The Safe Prescribing Through Reporting Act of 2025 was introduced in the House of Representatives on May 23, 2025. It has been referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee for consideration. If passed by the House and Senate, and signed into law by the President, the bill would require states to implement the new PDMP standards within 2 years of enactment.
