34-20E-11. Immunity from civil liability. Nothing in this chapter requires a prescriber or dispenser to obtain information about a patient from the central repository prior to prescribing or dispensing a controlled substance. A prescriber, dispenser, or other health care provider may not be held liable in damages to any person in any civil action on the basis that the prescriber, dispenser, or other health care provider did or did not seek to obtain information from the central repository. Unless there is shown a lack of good faith, the board, a prescriber, dispenser, or any other person in proper possession of information provided under this chapter is not subject to any civil liability by reason of:
(1) The furnishing of information under the conditions provided in this chapter;
(2) The receipt and use of, or reliance on, such information;
(3) The fact that any such information was not furnished; or
(4) The fact that such information was factually incorrect or was released by the board to the wrong person or entity.Source: SL 2010, ch 175, § 11.
