AI Summary
This bill mandates that insurance policies providing prescription drug coverage must cover the cost of a "voice synthesizer," which is defined as a device that attaches to prescription bottles and verbally reads aloud the information from the prescription label for individuals who are legally blind or visually impaired. The bill also requires the Commissioner of the Division of Insurance to create regulations within 90 days to implement this new coverage, and allows organizations that primarily serve disabled individuals to inform them about the availability of these voice synthesizers.
