(a) Request, and a practitioner or pharmacist who receives such a request shall provide, a photocopy of any record required to be retained by state or federal law or regulation, including any prescription contained in the files of a practitioner or pharmacy, if the record in question will be used as evidence in a criminal action, civil action or an administrative proceeding, or contemplated action or proceeding.
