Wisconsin Administrative Code Controlled Substances Board
Here’s an overview of the Wisconsin Administrative Code – Controlled Substances Board (CSB):
📋 Agency Structure & Statutory Authority
The Controlled Substances Board is established under Wis. Stat. § 15.405(5g) with rulemaking authority granted by Ch. 961 of the Wisconsin Statutes (Uniform Controlled Substances Act) (dsps.wi.gov).
The Board operates within the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS), supported by public meeting schedules, rulemaking activities, and disciplinary oversight (dsps.wi.gov).
📑 Administrative Code Chapters
The Wisconsin Administrative Code for the CSB includes the following chapters:
CSB 2 – Additions to Schedules
Rules for adding substances to controlled substance schedules under Wis. Stat. §§ 961.14, .16, .18, .20, .22 (dsps.wi.gov).
CSB 3 – Special Use Authorization
Governs procedures and standards for authorizing restricted or emergency use of certain controlled substances (law.cornell.edu, docs.legis.wisconsin.gov).
CSB 4 – Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP)
Establishes the PDMP framework, including definitions, access rules, and enforcement provisions (e.g., § CSB 4.097 on revoking or suspending PDMP access) (dsps.wi.gov).
🔍 Example: CSB 4.097 – Access Restrictions
Under CSB 4.097, the Board may deny, suspend, revoke, or restrict PDMP access for healthcare professionals, pharmacists, delegates, or coordinators if they:
Violate state/federal privacy laws (e.g. Wis. Stat. § 146.82, § 961.385)
Lose their professional license or delegation status
Face adverse action by licensing bodies or the DEA
Have criminal convictions related to controlled substances
Or violate other provisions under Wis. Admin. Code CSB 4 (law.cornell.edu)
This rule took effect on January 1, 2018 (via “CR 17‑028”) (law.cornell.edu).
