Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1939 PA 280, entitled"The social welfare act,"(MCL 400.1 to 400.119b) by adding section 109o.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan Social Welfare Act by requiring the state's medical assistance program (Medicaid) to comply with section 12 of the Prescription Drug Cost and Affordability Review Act, subject to federal law. The bill is tied to another piece of legislation (Senate Bill 3) and will only take effect if that companion bill becomes law. The key provision essentially mandates that Michigan's Medicaid program follow specific guidelines related to prescription drug cost and affordability review, which likely involves procedures for evaluating and potentially regulating the prices of prescription medications. This change aims to potentially reduce healthcare costs and improve drug affordability for Medicaid recipients in Michigan by implementing a standardized review process for prescription drug pricing.
