MODERATE

This bill revision updates the legislative committee structure to include the Appropriations Committee and adds a new senator to the sponsors. It clarifies reporting requirements by removing the mandate for the Auditor General to provide specific staff services, simplifying the language around contract definitions, and adjusting the timeline for pharmacy benefit manager reporting to occur every 90 days instead of annually.

Scope change

The bill's scope of oversight was slightly broadened by adding the Appropriations Committee to the joint legislative committee, while the requirement for the Auditor General to provide specific staff support was removed.

SCOPE

The Joint Legislative Committee on Medicaid Oversight now includes the Committee on Appropriations as a co-sponsor, expanding the committee's oversight reach.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement for the Auditor General to provide specific staff or consulting services to the committee was removed, simplifying the cooperation obligations.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'pharmacy benefits plan or program' was revised to remove the phrase 'plan or program and a participating pharmacy,' streamlining the contract requirements.

TIMELINE

The reporting deadline for pharmacy benefit managers regarding administrative appeals was changed from an annual schedule to a quarterly schedule (every 90 days).

TECHNICAL

Various text edits were made to correct grammatical errors and improve clarity, such as fixing 'must may' to 'must' and 'shall be classified' to 'shall be classified'.
