Kan. Stat. Ann. § 65-1685, database information privileged and confidential

Classifies information maintained in the prescription monitoring program database as confidential. Prohibits the subpoena or discovery of program information in civil proceedings, but permits its use as evidence in state or federal investigations regarding law violations or investigations by entities that have administrative oversight of persons who prescribe or dispense controlled substances. Identifies the persons that may receive confidential prescription monitoring programs data (e.g., prescribers and dispensers who need the information to care for their patients, medical examiners investigating a cause of death, individuals who want their own data, etc.). Authorizes the prescription monitoring program advisory committee to review data in order to identify concerning patterns and activities and alert appropriate law enforcement agencies. Authorizes the board to release de-identified data for statistical, education, or research purposes.
