MINOR

The bill was amended to add new sponsors and update the procedural history, reflecting its progression through the legislative committee. The most significant substantive change is the exclusion of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) from the definition of a 'covered entity' required to submit 340B drug reporting data. Additionally, the effective date for these reporting requirements was delayed from April 1, 2026, to April 1, 2027.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed by exempting Federally Qualified Health Centers from the new transparency reporting requirements that apply to other covered entities.

ELIGIBILITY

Federally Qualified Health Centers are now explicitly excluded from the definition of 'covered entity' and do not need to submit the new 340B drug reporting forms.

TIMELINE

The mandatory reporting deadline was pushed back one year, changing the start date from April 1, 2026, to April 1, 2027.

TECHNICAL

The bill number was updated to 'A6987--A' and the list of sponsoring legislators was expanded to include Alvarez, Tapia, Griffin, Bichotte Hermelyn, Reyes, Yeger, and Hevesi.
