Establishes temporary grant program for pharmacies; appropriates $10 million.
S 3539 establishes a temporary $10 million grant program for New Jersey pharmacies facing financial hardship due to increased federal remuneration fees. The bill directs the Department of Human Services to create the program, set application rules, and distribute funds to eligible pharmacies. It appropriates up to $10 million from the General Fund, with the program ending once all funds are distributed. The bill specifically targets pharmacies affected by federal fee changes, not other healthcare providers or general funding.
