Committee adopts amendment and refers bill creating non‑opioid directive to judiciary committee
Summary
A House committee adopted an A1 amendment and voted to refer House File 1379, which would create a one‑page non‑opioid directive to be stored in electronic health records, to the Committee of Judicial, Finance and Civil Law for further work.
The chair moved adoption of the A1 amendment and the committee then approved a motion to refer House File 1379, creating a one‑page non‑opioid directive for patients to record their preference to avoid opioids, to the Committee of Judicial, Finance and Civil Law.
The bill would direct the Minnesota Department of Health to create and publish a non‑opioid directive form for patients to upload to their electronic health record. Representative Baker said the directive is intended as a communication tool so “the provider or the EMT, whoever has access to their records” can see that a patient has requested to avoid opioids when possible.
