What changed between versions

INTRODUCED Enrollment · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill was reformatted from a draft introduction to an enrolled version with corrected formatting and minor text corrections. The substantive policy content regarding prior authorization rules for prescription drugs remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL

Header formatting was corrected to show 'Sixty-ninth Legislative Assembly of North Dakota' as a single line instead of split across multiple lines.

Bill title was updated to include 'and certification of medically necessary medication' to clarify the scope.

Minor text corrections were made, including fixing a typo where 'exceptExcept' was corrected to 'except for' and reorganizing subsection lettering (d, e, f, g became b, c, d, e, f, g, h).

Page numbering and formatting were standardized to match enrolled bill conventions.
