Wisconsin C2 Question

I know in Wisconsin that the person picking up a C2 or C3 rx has to present a driver's license or other government issued photo ID. But I thought there was also a law stating that the person dropping off a C2 rx has to present a government issued photo ID, the ID number has to be written on the hard copy, and the hard copy has to be signed by the person dropping off the rx. Another rph asked me about it and I tried to find statues to back me up. I couldn't find any. Is this not a law?

Closest I could find...

"If the person accepting the medication pursuant to any prescription order for a schedule II controlled substance, specified in s. 961.16, Stats., is not personally known to the pharmacist, there shall be written in ink, on the reverse side, the printed name, signature and address of the person"

I wonder if that law was written in 1930. "Not personally known to the pharmacist...." What does that even mean?

We have similar wording in our laws in FL. I always took it to mean a patient that the pharmacist doesn't recognise.

Most places I went to on rotations only did the id / drivers license # on the front of the Rx, or didn't do it at all since they said they "knew" everyone

This is a new law. It is not more than a few months old. It became law in July. It is part of the HOPE (heroin and opiate prevention and education) agenda. 7 laws were signed together.
