This bill establishes a temporary grant program aimed at supporting pharmacies facing financial challenges due to increased direct and indirect remuneration fees imposed by federal regulations. The program will be administered by the Department of Human Services, with the specific implementation details determined by the Commissioner of Human Services. Additionally, the Commissioner is tasked with creating and publishing the application procedures and eligibility requirements for pharmacies seeking assistance through this program.

To fund this initiative, the bill appropriates up to $10 million from the General Fund to the Department of Human Services, as deemed necessary by the Commissioner. The act is designed to take effect immediately and will remain in force until all allocated funds have been distributed.
