1872) The Commonwealth Pharmacy Program Procedures and Policies Act would,
through the Office of Administration, establish a series of uniform
procedures for PA pharmacies or preferred pharmacy programs. These procedures
would ensure the appropriate collection of pharmacy rebates and that
standardized auditing procedures would be followed. The Office of
Administration would also establish an online claims adjudication system, a

of drug therapies and a surveillance utilization review system to monitor,
identify and investigate potential misutilization
or deficiencies in the level of care and ensure that a brand name product
would be dispensed and not substituted with an A-rated generic
therapeutically equivalent drug if it is less expensive to the commonwealth
pharmacy program. Any access restrictions would have to be reported to the
Majority and Minority Leaders in the House and Senate. Such restrictions
could be overturned by a concurrent resolution passed within 25 days of
notice. Additionally, if a preferred drug list (PDL) or formulary is utilized

and HIV drugs would be exempted from the requirements. The Office of
Administration is also charged with evaluating the feasibility of creating a
disease management program and a recycling program for the redistribution of
prescription drugs at health care facilities or State correctional
facilities. The bill also requires the Office of Administration to issue a

3725) The Community Mental Health and Mental Retardation Program Services and
Supports Act provides for the allocation of funds to county mental health and
mental retardation programs and for cost-of-living adjustments and for the
promulgation of rules and regulations. The Secretary of the Department of
Public Welfare is required to allocate to county mental health and mental
retardation programs an aggregate amount of funds not less than the aggregate
amount allocated to county mental health and mental retardation programs in
the prior fiscal year, plus the amount necessary to provide full-year funding
of all initiatives included in the prior fiscal year's allocation, plus the
amount necessary to provide funds for a cost-of-living adjustment to assure
the health, safety and effective care of people served in the community-based
mental health and mental retardation system. The cost-of-living adjustment
would be equal to the Home Health Market Basket Index for the prior Federal
fiscal year, times the sum of the aggregate amount allocated to counties in
the prior fiscal year plus the amount necessary to provide full-year funding
of all initiatives included in the prior fiscal year's allocation to
counties. Funding allocated for a cost-of-living adjustment would only be
utilized to increase the rates of funding for existing community-based mental
health and mental retardation services. The Department would annually
increase all existing allocations made to county mental health and mental
retardation programs for the purposes of administering such programs by the
same cost-of-living adjustment. (Prior Printer Number: 2386, 3214)

the General Assembly during the fiscal year immediately prior to the budget
year under consideration, adjusted by the lesser of: the average percentage
change in personal income in PA or the average percentage change in inflation

to a gubernatorially declared emergency if approved
by three-fifths of members of each chamber of the General Assembly or (3) in
other situations if approved by three-fifths of members of each chamber of
the General Assembly. The bill also states that for any fiscal year in which
the governor certifies that a surplus exists in the General Fund, 35% of that
surplus would be deposited into the Budget Stabilization Reserve Fund and 65%

any fiscal year in which the balance in the Budget Stabilization Reserve Fund
equals or exceeds 7.5% of the total of all General Fund appropriations in the
preceding fiscal year, 100% of the surplus would be deposited into the
