A BILL 
To provide for the establishment of a controlled substance 
monitoring program in each State. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘National All Schedules 
Prescription Electronic Reporting Act of 2005’’. 
SEC. 2. PURPOSE. 
It is the purpose of this Act to— 
(1) foster the establishment of State-administered 
controlled substance monitoring systems in order to 
ensure that health care providers have access to the 
accurate, timely prescription history information that 
they may use as a tool for the early identification of 
patients at risk for addiction in order to initiate ap-
propriate medical interventions and avert the tragic 
personal, family, and community consequences of un-
treated addiction; and 
(2) establish, based on the experiences of existing 
State controlled substance monitoring programs, a set 
of best practices to guide the establishment of new
State programs and the improvement of existing pro-
grams.
