MODERATE
The bill was amended to expand coverage eligibility from only prescription drugs to include both prescription drugs and state employee health plans (for Section 1) and accident and sickness insurance policies (for Section 2). Additionally, the effective date for these new requirements was extended from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027, and the definition of 'associated conditions' was updated to require that symptoms be directly attributable to cancer based on clinical evidence.

The bill's scope was broadened to apply to state employee health plans and private accident and sickness insurance policies, in addition to prescription drugs, and the implementation timeline was delayed by one year.

Expanded applicability to include state employee health plans and accident and sickness insurance policies, not just prescription drugs.
