WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW OPIOID LAWS IN 2019, PHARMACY EMPLOYEES AND ANYONE WISHING TO REPORT OPIOID ABUSE OR DIVERSION OR ANY OTHER IMPROPER BEHAVIOR WITH RESPECT TO OPIOIDS, MAY DO SO BY CALLING 1-800-852-2187. IN ADDITION ANY ENTITY THAT PRESCRIBES, DISPENSES OR HANDLES OPIOIDS IS ALSO REQUIRED TO HAVE SIGNAGE AND PROVIDE INFORMATION TO EMPLOYEES ABOUT REPORTING SUSPECTED OPIOID ABUSE OR DIVERSION. ANYONE WHO CALLS WOULD BE "IMMUNE FROM CIVIL LIABILITY" IN RELATION TO THE REPORT.
