MINOR

This bill was amended from its original introduced version to a substitute version after committee review. The substantive policy language regarding pharmacy choice and reimbursement remains largely unchanged, but the document format was updated to reflect committee markup and drafting conventions. A minor technical change was made in Section 38.2-4312.1, Subsection E, where the reference to 'subsection D' was changed to 'subsection E' to correct the internal cross-reference.

Scope change

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the policy provisions remain the same.

TECHNICAL

Corrected a cross-reference error in § 38.2-4312.1, Subsection E, changing 'subsection D' to 'subsection E' to accurately reference the subsection requiring pharmacies to execute agreements.

Removed original bill metadata including introduction date, prefile date, and original committee referral notation.
