JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

Tuesday, May 23, 2017

The House of Representatives was called to order at 11:30 o'clock a.m., Speaker Joe Aresimowicz in the Chair.

Prayer was offered by Deputy Chaplain, Imam Refai Arefin of Berlin, Connecticut.

The following is the prayer:

Let us pray for the victims and families affected by the senseless horror in Manchester, United Kingdom. May peace and love always prevail over all evil. As we approach Memorial Day, we offer our gratitude to all the men and women who have served their country in defense of freedom. We are in awe of their sacrifice of time, talent and life - fully committed to that which they believe to be just and good, and true.

Allow us to honor their sacrifice by being peacemakers, who bring justice in the face of injustice; plenty in the face of need; harmony in the place of discord. Enable us to follow their lead and do all that we can to further the cause of peace in the world. To this end we seek Your blessing. Amen.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Siegrist of the 36th District.

The following bill was taken from the table, read the third time, the report of the committee indicated accepted and the bill passed.

PUBLIC HEALTH. Substitute for H.B. No. 7118 (RAISED) (File No. 189) AN ACT CONCERNING BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTS.

The bill which was passed over temporarily on May 17, 2017 was explained by Representative Baram of the 15th who offered House Amendment Schedule "A" (LCO 7122 - designated on May 17, 2017).

Representative Baram of the 15th then withdrew House Amendment Schedule "A" (LCO 7122).

The bill was discussed by Representative Baram of the 15th who offered House Amendment Schedule "B" (LCO 7565) and moved its adoption.

The amendment was discussed by Representative Smith of the 108th.

On a voice vote the amendment was adopted.

The Speaker ruled the amendment was technical.

The following is House Amendment Schedule "B" (LCO 7565):

Strike everything after the enacting clause and substitute the following in lieu thereof:

"Section 1. Section 20-619 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2017):

(a) For the purposes of section 20-579 and this section:

(1) "Biological product" has the same meaning as provided in 42 USC 262;

[(1)] (2) "Brand name" means the proprietary or trade name selected by the manufacturer and placed upon a drug product, its container, label or wrapping at the time of packaging;

[(2)] (3) "Generic name" means the established name designated in the official United States Pharmacopoeia-National Formulary, official Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, or official United States Adopted Names or any supplement to any of said publications;

(4) "Interchangeable biological product" means a biological product that: (A) The federal Food and Drug Administration has licensed and determined to meet the standards for interchangeability pursuant to 42 USC 262(k)(4), or (B) is therapeutically equivalent to another biological product, as set forth in the latest edition of or supplement to the federal Food and Drug Administration's publication "Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations";

[(3)] (5) "Therapeutically equivalent" means drug products that are approved under the provisions of the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for interstate distribution and that will provide essentially the same efficacy and toxicity when administered to an individual in the same dosage regimen;

[(4)] (6) "Dosage form" means the physical formulation or medium in which the product is intended, manufactured and made available for use, including, but not limited to, tablets, capsules, oral solutions, aerosol, inhalers, gels, lotions, creams, ointments, transdermals and suppositories, and the particular form of any physical formulation or medium that uses a specific technology or mechanism to control, enhance or direct the release, targeting, systemic absorption, or other delivery of a dosage regimen in the body;

[(5)] (7) "Epilepsy" means a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures; and

[(6)] (8) "Seizures" means a disturbance in the electrical activity of the brain. [; and]

[(7) "Antiepileptic drug" means a drug prescribed for the treatment of epilepsy or a drug used to prevent seizures.]

(b) Except as limited by subsections [(c), (e) and (i)] (f), (h) and (l) of this section, unless the purchaser instructs otherwise, the pharmacist may substitute a generic drug product with the same strength, quantity, dose and dosage form as the prescribed drug product which is, in the pharmacist's professional opinion, therapeutically equivalent. When the prescribing practitioner is not reasonably available for consultation and the prescribed drug does not use a unique delivery system technology, the pharmacist may substitute an oral tablet, capsule or liquid form of the prescribed drug as long as the form dispensed has the same strength, dose and dose schedule and is therapeutically equivalent to the drug prescribed. The pharmacist shall inform the patient or a representative of the patient, and the practitioner of the substitution at the earliest reasonable time.

(c) Except as limited by subsections (f), (h) and (l) of this section, unless the purchaser instructs otherwise, the pharmacist may substitute a biological product for a prescribed biological product if: (1) It is an interchangeable biological product, and (2) the practitioner has not specified, in the manner described in subsection (f) of this section, that there shall be no substitution for the prescribed biological product.

(d) (1) Upon the dispensing of an interchangeable biological product to a patient, the pharmacist or a duly authorized agent of the pharmacist shall inform the patient or a representative of the patient of a substitution of an interchangeable biological product for a prescribed biological product. Not later than forty-eight hours after the pharmacist has informed the patient or representative of the patient of the substitution, the pharmacist shall make an entry documenting the substitution in a manner authorized pursuant to subsection (m) of this section, and (2) prior to delivering an interchangeable biological product to a patient through mail, shipment or parcel delivery service, the pharmacist shall notify the patient or a representative of the patient by telephone to inform the patient or representative when the interchangeable biological product will be delivered. The patient or representative of the patient may make a request of the pharmacy that the patient or representative be present to sign for delivery of the interchangeable biological product. Not later than forty-eight hours after contacting the patient, the pharmacist shall make an entry documenting compliance with this subdivision in the patient's medical or pharmacy record, in a manner authorized pursuant to subsection (m) of this section.

(e) Upon the dispensing of an interchangeable biological product, but not later than forty-eight hours following the dispensing of such product, the pharmacist shall inform the prescribing practitioner by facsimile, telephone or electronic transmission of the substitution of such interchangeable biological product for a prescribed biological product.

[(c)] (f) A prescribing practitioner may specify in writing or by a telephonic or other electronic communication that there shall be no substitution for the specified brand name drug product or prescribed biological product specified on any prescription form, provided (1) for written prescriptions, the practitioner shall specify on the prescription form that the drug product or prescribed biological product is "brand medically necessary" or "no substitution", (2) for prescriptions transmitted by telephonic means, the pharmacist shall specify "brand medically necessary" or "no substitution" on the prescription form in the pharmacist's handwriting or in the electronic prescription record and shall record on the prescription form the time the telephonic authorization was received and the name of the person who communicated the telephonic authorization to the pharmacist, and (3) for prescriptions transmitted by any other electronic communication, the practitioner shall select the dispense as written code on the certified electronic prescription form to indicate that a substitution is not allowed by the practitioner. No prescription form for written prescriptions, and no prescription form for prescriptions transmitted pursuant to subdivision (2) or (3) of this subsection, may default to "brand medically necessary" or "no substitution".

[(d)] (g) Each pharmacy shall post a sign in a location easily seen by patrons at the counter where prescriptions are dispensed stating that, "THIS PHARMACY MAY BE ABLE TO SUBSTITUTE A LESS EXPENSIVE DRUG PRODUCT OR INTERCHANGEABLE BIOLOGICAL PRODUCT WHICH IS THERAPEUTICALLY EQUIVALENT TO THE ONE PRESCRIBED BY YOUR DOCTOR UNLESS YOU DO NOT APPROVE." The printing on the sign shall be in block letters not less than one inch in height.

[(e)] (h) A pharmacist may substitute a drug product under subsection (b) or interchangeable biological product under subsection (c) of this section only when there will be a savings in cost passed on to the purchaser. The pharmacist shall disclose the amount of the savings at the request of the patient.

[(f)] (i) Except as provided in subsection [(g)] (j) of this section, when a pharmacist dispenses a substitute drug product as authorized by subsection (b) of this section or an interchangeable biological product as authorized by subsection (c) of this section, the pharmacist shall label the prescription container with the name of the dispensed drug product or interchangeable biological product. If the dispensed drug product or interchangeable biological product does not have a brand name, the prescription label shall indicate the generic name of the drug product or the nonproprietary name of the interchangeable biological product dispensed along with the name of the manufacturer of the drug [manufacturer or distributor] product or interchangeable biological product.

[(g)] (j) A prescription dispensed by a pharmacist shall bear upon the label the name of the drug or biological product in the container unless the prescribing practitioner writes "DO NOT LABEL", or words of similar import, on the prescription or so designates in an oral or electronic transmission of the prescription.

[(h)] (k) Neither the failure to instruct by the purchaser as provided in subsection (b) of this section nor the fact that a sign has been posted as provided in subsection [(d)] (g) of this section shall be a defense on the part of a pharmacist against a suit brought by any such purchaser.

[(i)] (l) Upon the initial filling or renewal of a prescription that contains a statistical information code based upon the most recent edition of the International Classification of Diseases indicating the prescribed drug is used for the treatment of epilepsy or to prevent seizures, a pharmacist shall not fill the prescription by using a different drug manufacturer or distributor of the prescribed drug or biological product, unless the pharmacist (1) provides prior notice of the use of a different drug or biological product manufacturer or distributor to the patient and the prescribing practitioner, and (2) obtains the written consent of the patient's prescribing practitioner. For purposes of obtaining the consent of the patient's prescribing practitioner required by this subsection, a pharmacist shall notify the prescribing practitioner via electronic mail or facsimile transmission. If the prescribing practitioner does not provide the necessary consent, the pharmacist shall fill the prescription without such substitution or use of a different drug or biological product manufacturer or distributor or return the prescription to the patient or to the patient's representative for filling at another pharmacy. If a pharmacist is unable to contact the patient's prescribing practitioner after making reasonable efforts to do so, such pharmacist may exercise professional judgment in refilling a prescription in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of section 20-616. For purposes of this subsection, "pharmacy" means a place of business where drugs and devices may be sold at retail and for which a pharmacy license was issued pursuant to section 20-594, including a hospital-based pharmacy when such pharmacy is filling prescriptions for employees and outpatient care, and a mail order pharmacy licensed by this state to distribute in this state. "Pharmacy" does not include a pharmacy serving patients in a long-term care facility, other institutional facility or a pharmacy that provides prescriptions for inpatient hospitals.

(m) Not later than forty-eight hours following the dispensing of an interchangeable biological product, the dispensing pharmacist or the pharmacist's designee shall make an entry of the specific product provided to the patient, including the name of the product and the manufacturer of the product. The entry shall be made in a manner that provides notice to the prescriber and may be made through one of the following means: (1) An interoperable electronic medical records system, (2) an electronic prescribing technology, (3) a pharmacy benefit management system, or (4) a pharmacy record. If the entry is not made by any of the means specified in subdivision (1), (2), (3) or (4) of this subsection, the pharmacist shall communicate the product dispensed to the prescriber using either facsimile, telephone or electronic transmission, provided such communication shall not be required when a refill prescription is not changed from the product dispensed on the prior filling of the prescription. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to interchangeable biological products dispensed by a pharmacy operated by a hospital licensed in accordance with the provisions of chapter 368v.

(n) Each prescription for an interchangeable biological product that is delivered to a patient through mail, shipment or parcel delivery service shall contain a written notice to the patient detailing the specific interchangeable biological product being shipped, the name of the pharmacist or pharmacy providing the prescription and contact information, including, but not limited to, a telephone number the patient may call to: (1) Request to be present or have a representative present to sign for delivery of the interchangeable biological product, (2) confirm receipt of the interchangeable biological product, or (3) ask questions regarding the prescription.

[(j)] (o) The commissioner, with the advice and assistance of the commission, shall adopt regulations, in accordance with chapter 54, to carry out the provisions of this section.

Sec. 2. (NEW) (Effective October 1, 2017) Prior to prescribing a biological product, as defined in section 20-619 of the general statutes, as amended by this act, a prescribing practitioner shall discuss with the patient or a representative of the patient the treatment methods, alternatives to and risks associated with the use of such biological product. The prescribing practitioner shall document such discussion in the patient's medical record not later than twenty-four hours after such discussion has taken place."

This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections:

The following is House Amendment Schedule "A" (LCO 7574):

In the title, strike "AND REGIONAL"

Strike everything after the resolving clause and substitute the following in lieu thereof:

"Section 1. That the following be proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the State, which, when approved and adopted in the manner provided by the Constitution, shall, to all intents and purposes, become a part thereof:

Section 7 of article sixth of the Constitution is amended to read as follows:

a. The general assembly may provide by law for voting in the choice of any officer to be elected or upon any question to be voted on at an election by qualified voters of the state who are unable to appear at the polling place on the day of election because of absence from the city or town of which they are inhabitants or because of sickness or physical disability or because the tenets of their religion forbid secular activity.

b. The general assembly may provide by law for voting in person in the choice of any officer to be elected or upon any question to be voted on at an election (1) by qualified voters of the state who do not appear at the polling place on the day of election, (2) for a minimum of eight hours on each day for not less than two days and not more than five days during the fourteen days prior to such day of election, and (3) in the city or town of which such qualified voters are inhabitants.

Section 9 of article third of the Constitution is amended to read as follows:

At all elections for members of the general assembly the presiding officers in the several towns shall [receive the votes of the electors, and] count and declare [them] the votes of the electors in open meeting. The presiding officers shall make and certify duplicate lists of the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for each. One list shall be delivered [within three days] to the town clerk, and [within ten days after such meeting,] the other shall be delivered under seal to the secretary of the state.

Section 4 of article fourth of the Constitution is amended to read as follows:

[At the meetings of the electors in the respective towns held quadrennially as herein provided for the election of state officers, the presiding officers shall receive the votes and shall count and declare the same in the presence of the electors] The votes at the election of state officers shall be counted and declared in open meeting by the presiding officers in the several towns. The presiding officers shall make and certify duplicate lists of the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for each. One list shall be delivered [within three days] to the town clerk, and [within ten days after such meeting,] the other shall be delivered under seal to the secretary of the state. The votes so delivered shall be counted, canvassed and declared by the treasurer, secretary, and comptroller, within the month of November. The vote for treasurer shall be counted, canvassed and declared by the secretary and comptroller only; the vote for secretary shall be counted, canvassed and declared by the treasurer and comptroller only; and the vote for comptroller shall be counted, canvassed and declared by the treasurer and secretary only. A fair list of the persons and number of votes given for each, together with the returns of the presiding officers, shall be, by the treasurer, secretary and comptroller, made and laid before the general assembly, then next to be held, on the first day of the session thereof. In the election of governor, lieutenant-governor, secretary, treasurer, comptroller and attorney general, the person found upon the count by the treasurer, secretary and comptroller in the manner herein provided, to be made and announced before December fifteenth of the year of the election, to have received the greatest number of votes for each of such offices, respectively, shall be elected thereto; provided, if the election of any of them shall be contested as provided by statute, and if such a contest shall proceed to final judgment, the person found by the court to have received the greatest number of votes shall be elected. If two or more persons shall be found upon the count of the treasurer, secretary and comptroller to have received an equal and the greatest number of votes for any of said offices, and the election is not contested, the general assembly on the second day of its session shall hold a joint convention of both houses, at which, without debate, a ballot shall be taken to choose such officer from those persons who received such a vote; and the balloting shall continue on that or subsequent days until one of such persons is chosen by a majority vote of those present and voting. The general assembly shall have power to enact laws regulating and prescribing the order and manner of voting for such officers. The general assembly shall by law prescribe the manner in which all questions concerning the election of a governor or lieutenant-governor shall be determined.

RESOLVED: That the foregoing proposed amendment to the Constitution be continued to the next session of the General Assembly elected at the general election to be held on November 6, 2018, and published with the laws passed at the present session, or be presented to the electors at the general election to be held on November 6, 2018, whichever the case may be, according to article sixth of the amendments to the Constitution. The designation of said proposed amendment to be used on the ballots at such election shall be "Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to allow the General Assembly to provide opportunities for early voting in person during the fourteen days prior to the day of an election?"

[Any conveyance of an interest in land to a trust rather than the trustee or trustees of the trust shall constitute a valid and enforceable transfer of that interest. Any conveyance by the trust, which conveyance is signed by a duly authorized trustee of such trust, shall be treated as if the conveyance was made by the trustee.]

(a) Any transfer of an interest in real property to a trust, rather than to the trustee or trustees of the trust, shall constitute a valid and enforceable transfer of such interest.

(b) Any subsequent transfer of such interest in real property, or any portion or part thereof (1) made by the trust and executed by a duly authorized trustee of the trust, shall be treated as if the transfer was made by such duly authorized trustee, or (2) made and executed by a duly authorized trustee of the trust, shall be treated as if the transfer was made by the trust.

(c) Any instrument whose grantor, grantee, releasor, releasee, assignor, assignee, transferor or transferee is a trust shall be indexed by the town clerk in the name of the trust identified in such instrument and also in the name or names of all trustees identified in such instrument.

(d) With respect to any instrument that has been recorded in the land records and whose grantor, releasor, assignor or transferor is a trust, it shall be presumed, in the absence of evidence in the land records indicating otherwise, that the (1) person who executed such instrument on the trust's behalf was duly authorized to so act, and (2) trust on whose behalf such person acted contained a provision conferring upon the trustee or trustees, the power to convey an interest in real property."

This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections:
