Memorandum


Senate Bill 701, if enacted, would require pharmacy services administrative organizations to be licensed and regulated by the Insurance Commissioner. The passage of SB 701 is not expected to have any significant fiscal impact on the Offices of the Insurance Commissioner, because the duties and responsibilities required of the Insurance Commissioner by Senate Bill 701, are very closely aligned with the duties set forth in the 2019 legislative session with the passage of SB 489. OIC does not believe that any additional FTEs will be required to manage the licensure and regulation of pharmacy services administrative organizations above and beyond the resources required to license and regulate pharmacy benefit managers.
