New Act
20 ILCS 405/405-195 new
30 ILCS 105/5.595 new

Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Prescription Drug Discount Program Act. Provides that the Program shall be administered by the Department of Central Management Services to enable eligible senior citizens and disabled persons to purchase prescription drugs at discounted prices and that the Department shall (i) enroll eligible seniors and disabled persons into the Program, (ii) enter into rebate agreements with drug manufacturers, either itself or through an agent, and (iii) reimburse pharmacies for the cost of providing discounts using the proceeds from the manufacturer rebate agreements. Amends the State Finance Act to create the Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Prescription Drug Discount Program Fund into which rebate payments and enrollment fees shall be deposited. Provides for an initial transfer from the General Revenue Fund into the Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Prescription Drug Discount Program Fund of $27,000,000 to be repaid to the General Revenue Fund out of rebate payments. Amends the Department of Central Management Services Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that the Department shall establish a Prescription Drug Purchasing Policy Office to determine and implement strategies for best price purchasing practices for State agencies that pay for prescription drugs by direct purchase or by other arrangements. Effective July 1, 2003.

House Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
20 ILCS 405/405-195 new

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the bill as introduced, with changes as follows. Authorizes the Department to issue a request for proposals for bidders interested in administering the program, establishing minimum criteria for bidder participation. Provides that the reimbursement to pharmacies shall be subject to available funds and shall be equal to the difference between the amount paid by the eligible senior or disabled person under the program and (i) the average wholesale price minus 12% for brand name drugs, single-source generic drug products, and, for a period of 6 months, newly-released generic drug products and (ii) the average wholesale price minus 35% for all other generic drugs, but only if the amount paid by the eligible senior or disabled person is less than these amounts. Limits the amounts to be deposited into the Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Prescription Drug Discount Program Fund to annual enrollment fees and other amounts to be allocated to the Department (excluding amounts to be used for compensation of pharmacies). Removes language authorizing the transfer of $27,000,000 into the Fund. Establishes specific items that must be included in the report on the Program. Removes provisions establishing a Prescription Drug Purchasing Policy Office. Makes other changes. Effective July 1, 2003.

House Amendment No. 2
Provides that language prohibiting the program administrator from using funds generated from rebates, discounts, administrative fees, or other fees to promote its mail order pharmacy operation or that of an affiliate does not, however, limit the participation of an Illinois-licensed pharmacy under the Act if that pharmacy provides prescription drugs by mail order.
