     MADAM PRESIDENT:

    I offer the following resolution and move its adoption:

    Whereas, The Indiana Drug Card Program is an initiative of the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns to provide citizens of Indiana with discounts on prescription drugs and other medical services;

    Whereas, The Indiana Drug Card Program was created as a way to encourage people to continue using local pharmacies rather than using national and international mail order services;

    Whereas, Encouraging people to use local pharmacies helps keep local pharmacists employed;

    Whereas, When people visit their local pharmacy, they have an opportunity to discuss medications directly with a pharmacist so that they may be alerted of the potential complications of taking certain medications at the same time;

    Whereas, The Indiana Drug Card is free of charge to all Indiana residents and offers an average discount on

medications of more than thirty percent;

    Whereas, The Indiana Drug Card is funded through the support of corporate pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies;

    Whereas, The Indiana Drug Card requires no enrollment forms, no age, income or other eligibility restrictions, no annual or lifetime benefit limits, and covers pre-existing conditions;

    Whereas, The Indiana Drug Card is a confidential discount drug program for both insured and uninsured residents;

    Whereas, The Indiana Drug Card is accepted by more than 56,000 pharmacies nationwide and can be used on brand and generic medications, as well as other medical benefits and services; and

    Whereas, The Indiana Association of Cities & Towns desires to extend these benefits to the citizens of Indiana: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate of the

General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

    SECTION 1. The Indiana Senate recognizes the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns' Indiana Drug Card Program.
    SECTION 2. The Secretary of the Senate is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns.
