Mississippi HB1134 would amend the Mississippi Code to authorize the State Board of Pharmacy to establish an alternative to discipline program for licensees who have impairments due to substance abuse or mental health conditions. Participation in the program is voluntary and must occur before any disciplinary action hearing. The program would include counseling, treatment, and/or education, with the licensee potentially contributing to the cost. All procedures and records regarding the licensee's participation would be confidential and exempt from the Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983.
