Sir:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 2102, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PRESCRIPTION DRUGS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to require providers of accident and health or sickness, or disability insurance to base prescription drug coverage on a drug formulary or prior authorization requirement established and regularly updated by an affiliated drug formulary advisory board whose membership includes a majority of licensed Hawaii resident practitioners.
The Hawaii Medical Association testified in support of this bill. Ohana Health Plan, Hawaii Association of Health Plans, and Hawaii Medical Service Association opposed this measure. Kaiser Permanente Hawaii provided comments.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2025, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2102, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2102, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
