New York S00101 requires health care professionals to inquire about a patient's opioid history when completing an allergy checklist or form.

New York S00101 amends the public health law to mandate that health care professionals ask patients about their opioid history when they require the completion of an allergy checklist or form. This information is intended to help health care professionals make informed diagnostic and treatment decisions to prevent opioid relapse.

The act will take effect 90 days after becoming law, with necessary rules and regulations to be completed by that date.
