Committee adopts substitute as working document for House Bill 229
Summary
The House General Government Committee adopted a substitute as the working document for House Bill 229 after Vice Chair LaRae moved adoption; the substitute removes a judiciary requirement, tightens the definition of 'rebate' and ties reimbursement rates to Ohio-affiliate pharmacies.
The House General Government Committee on the House floor adopted a substitute as the working document for House Bill 229 after Vice Chair LaRae moved its adoption. Chair Wray called the bill for its fourth hearing and, with no objections raised during committee discussion, the substitute was adopted by voice.
Vice Chair LaRae told the committee the substitute incorporated changes requested by interested parties. She said the substitute removes a judiciary requirement, modifies the definition of “rebate,” and clarifies that reimbursement rates are based on Ohio-affiliate pharmacies. Members were directed to the working document available on committee iPads for the precise legislative language.
Committee members did not request a roll-call vote or offer amendments on the substitute during the hearing, and Chair Wray closed the item after adoption. The committee also called House Resolution 139 for its third hearing but received no testimony; staff materials, including the LSC report and agency questionnaires, were made available on members’ devices.
The committee adjourned after completing its scheduled business.
