DENVER (AP) Colorado lawmakers are considering a bill to add more countries to a state program that imports prescription drugs from Canada.
The state House Health and Insurance committee passed a bill Wednesday that would expand the program if the federal program is also increased.
In 2020, under former President Donald Trump, Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar implemented a rule to allow states to submit import program proposals to the Food and Drug Administration for review and authorization.
Colorado passed its Canadian import bill in 2019, and the state is still in the process of designing a program to be submitted for federal approval. More than 12 states are eyeing similar legislation, said Democratic Rep. Karen McCormick, one of the Colorado bill s sponsors.
