ND Lawmakers Make Key Decisions on Drug-Cost Bills
Mike Moen
BISMARCK, N.D. Those calling for sweeping action to reduce prescription-drug prices in North Dakota saw mixed results this legislative session.
One proposal was a price transparency bill. When a planned price hike exceeds 10% over one year or 40% over five years, the drug manufacturer would be required to explain why.
The bill has cleared hurdles in both chambers and is expected to go to the governor.
Josh Askvig, state director for AARP North Dakota, testified in support of the measure, saying it puts the issue out in the open.
