Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill HB 356, some wording was clarified but overall, no significant changes were made to the definitions of "340B covered entity" and "340B eligible drug." The terms still refer to specific designations within the 340B drug discount program, which helps certain healthcare providers access affordable medications. Having clear definitions is important because they ensure that everyone involved understands who benefits from the program and how it operates. This clarity can help prevent confusion and ensure that the intended parties can effectively utilize the resources available to them.
