AN ACT relating to reimbursements for pharmacist services.

Plain-English Summary

Where Orgs Stand

HB 3 would have impacted TANF funding, codified the harmful Kentucky HEALTH waiver, expanded SNAP work requirements without supports, required EBT card photos contrary to federal law, and mandated drug testing—policies that are expensive, ineffective, contrary to federal law, and would hamstrung the state's ability to take care of its most vulnerable citizens.
