Senator Boyd (introduced by the chair) explains House Bill 17, saying it would prohibit 'white bagging' and 'brown bagging' practices by insurers and PBMs that can delay or compromise patient infusion treatments; he said white bagging can delay administration 'anywhere from 10 to 14 days' and raised concerns about temperature control and quality when patients bring drugs to clinics. Senator Boyd offered to take questions.
