    On page 1, line 1 of the title, after "Relating to" strike the remainder of the title and insert "pharmacy benefit managers regarding registration, audits and maximum allowable cost standards; and adding a new chapter to Title 19; and adding a new section to chapter 19.02 RCW."

EFFECT:

· Adds a phone number for the PBM to the registration information

· Directs registration fees to be deposited into the business license account in DOR

· Replaces fraud identified with fraud indicated

· Aligns the drug list with Oregon law, allowing a drug to be on the maximum allowable cost "MAC" list if there are two therapeutically equivalent drugs or at least one generic drug available

·  Amends the title to more clearly reflect the focus on PBM registration, audits and maximum allowable cost standards and to establish a new chapter in Title 19 business regulations
