STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
In Re: SUSPENSION OF STATUTES, RULES AND DOH No. 18-277 ORDERS, MADE NECESSARY BY HURRICANE MICHAEL.
EMERGENCY ORDER
Pursuant to the authority granted by Executive Order No. 18-276, I find that strict
compliance with the provisions of certain statutes and rules regulated by the Florida
Department of Health will prevent, hinder, or delay necessary action in coping with the
emergency caused by Hurricane Michael. In order to effectively respond to the emergency
caused by Hurricane Michael it is necessary to promulgate the following:
For the purposes of responding to and mitigating any effect of Hurricane Michael, the
Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Manager is authorized to share Florida prescription
drug monitoring information, including allowing access to the Florida Prescription Drug
Monitoring Program, with the Alabama Department of Public Health, the Georgia Department
of Public Health, and the Mississippi State Department of Health in order to verify prescription
drug information for Floridians affected by Hurricane Michael that have evacuated to those
states. This paragraph exempts the Department from the requirement of additional
agreements with Alabama, Georgia, or Mississippi pursuant to Section 893.055(6), Florida
Statutes.

Because section 252.36(5)(a), Florida Statutes, allows the Governor to suspend the
provisions of “any regulatory statute prescribing the procedures for [the] conduct of state
business,” and because Section 4. B. of Executive Order No. 18-276 provides the State Surgeon
General with the authority to issue this Emergency Order, the requirements of sections 252.46
and 120.54(4), Florida Statutes, do not apply to this Order.
The effective dates of this Order shall correspond with the effective dates of Executive
Order No. 18-276.
Executed this 17th day of October 2018, in Department of Health Offices, Tallahassee,
Leon County, Florida.
