patient from the central repository prior to prescribing or dispensing a controlled substance. A
prescriber, dispenser, or other health care practitioner 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

shown a lack of good faith, the board, any other state agency, a prescriber, dispenser, or any
other individual in proper possession of information provided under this chapter may not be
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.
