SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Prescription Drug Assistance. Establishes the Joint Commission on Prescription Drug Assistance to develop ways and means to provide prescription drug assistance to needy senior citizens and to coordinate state and federal programs providing such assistance. The Commission shall examine (i) the best ways to provide prescription drug assistance to those elderly Virginians who cannot afford to purchase such assistance on their own; (ii) the current scope of coverage, or lack thereof, in major programs including Medicare and Medicaid; (iii) proposed federal legislation and the most efficient manner in which the Commonwealth may coordinate its programs with future federal programs to provide prescription drug assistance; and (iv) such other matters as are relevant to the Commission's objectives. House Joint Resolution 810, was interpreted to be written broad enough to incorporate the substance of HJR 666 (Jones, J. C.), HJR 760 (Welch), HJR 762 (Morgan), and HJR 786 (Larrabee).
