Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The amendment removes the appropriation-allocation section and assumes the Department of Health and Human Services can absorb the one-time cost of implementing the MaineCare mandatory drug co-payment system changes within the Maine Integrated Health Management Solution (MIHMS) system change management process. Also assumes the potential for a decrease in MaineCare prescription drug utilization and spending as a result  of implementation of a mandatory prescription drug co-payment system remains.
