Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to provide a mechanism whereby unused, unexpired nonnarcotic drugs previously owned by a deceased nursing home patient or resident may be donated to free health care clinics in the state, provided that the family of the deceased patient or resident has given consent for the donation.
Although PEIA is in favor of such a program, its involvement in the administration of the program is not reasonable. PEIA has no oversight or administrative role with nursing homes. PEIA would most likely incur additional administrative costs to establish the necessary infrastructure and knowledge to implement this process. Whereas there are state agencies that deal directly with nursing homes and have existing administrative relationships. It would seem these existing entities would be better candidates for the administration of such a program.
PEIA hasn’t provided an estimated cost increase as it would be difficult to estimate the implementation costs without more understanding of the volume of nursing home facilities, prescriptions and free healthcare clinics.
