An Act establishing a commission to study the promotion of preferred pharmacy networks

This bill creates a commission to evaluate the feasibility of preferred pharmacy networks, which would direct consumers to specific pharmacies where insurers can negotiate lower drug prices. The commission will be composed of legislative leaders and designated officials from state health agencies, including the Department of Public Health and the Center for Health Information and Analysis. Its primary task is to conduct a cost-benefit analysis and estimate potential savings from implementing these networks. Within 12 months of passing, the commission must submit a report with its findings and any proposed legislation to relevant state committees.
