We have been printing the new AB 149 California scripts that are necessary for 1/1/2021 since January 1st, 2020!!  Know that your scripts are meeting the new state regulations when we roll in to the new year. California's Assembly Bill 149 delays the requirement of including a uniquely serialized number and barcode on a controlled substance script until (no later than) January 1, 2020. The addition of the barcode is not required until January 1, 2021.
