Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
21 added · 13 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to Bill SB 369 changed the scope of the proposed law to focus specifically on state-sponsored insurance plans, like the Office of Group Benefits, rather than applying to all health insurance reimbursements. This means that manufacturers can only sell drugs at or below the Medicare price for these specific plans. This change is important because it narrows the bill's impact and provides targeted benefits for a specific group of insurance holders, which may simplify enforcement and help control costs for state-funded healthcare.
