Illinois SB3521 introduced to broaden definition of “one-to-one secure link” for PMP interstate data exchange (including PMIX standard)

Illinois SB3521 (104th General Assembly) was introduced to amend 720 ILCS 570/318 to clarify that “one-to-one secure link” for Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) communications includes communications exchange platforms aligned with widely adopted standards, including the Prescription Monitoring Information Exchange (PMIX) standard, to facilitate secure interstate transfer of PMP data. Compliance impact: may standardize acceptable technical mechanisms for interstate PMP interoperability and influence vendor certification/integration approaches for secure data exchange.
