(2)A patient may have misused, abused, or diverted a controlled substance.

b.If the board determines that there is reason to believe that any of the acts described in subdivision a may have occurred, the board may notify the appropriate law enforcement agency or the board or regulatory agency responsible for the licensing of the prescriber or dispenser.

The board shall correct any erroneous information the board discovers due to the request for review by a patient, prescriber, or dispenser.

3.The board shall adopt a procedure to allow information contained in the central repository to be shared with officials in other states acting for the purpose of controlled substance monitoring and for requesting and receiving similar controlled substance monitoring information from other states.
