Pharmacists would have to give the state detailed records about everyone for whom they fill prescriptions for narcotics and other controlled substances under a bill that passed the House Tuesday.

That includes children who take behavioral medications such as Ritalin. The proposal, House Bill 455 passed in 149-8 vote.

State Rep. Bill Stephens (R-Savannah) said he drafted the bill in response to the case of Chris Benoit, a pro wrestler and steroid user, who last summer, killed his wife and 7-year-old son before taking his own life.

Authorities concluded Benoit was solely responsible for the killings, but they could not directly link his homicidal rampage to his steroid use.

Stephens said the legislation would bar public access to any private prescription information collected by the state.

"The people who are taking legal drugs will not be affected," said Stephens.
