Proffitt, Director Laura Kelly, Governor Division of the Budget February 13, 2024 The Honorable Kellie Warren, Chairperson Senate Committee on Judiciary 300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 346-S Topeka, Kansas 66612 Dear Senator Warren: SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 392 by Senate Committee on Judiciary In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 392 is respectfully submitted to your committee. SB 392 would give the Office of Medicaid Inspector General access to the prescription monitoring program database without a warrant to conduct drug-related audits and investigations. The bill would also replace an Advisory Committee board member from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation with a person from the Office of the Attorney General. The Board of Pharmacy indicates that any additional expenditures to onboard the Office of the Attorney to receive K-TRACS program data and ensure the appropriate and timely delivery and use of the data would be dependent upon the number of requests. However, the agency estimates the additional expenditures could be absorbed within existing resources. The Office of the Attorney General and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation both state that the bill would not have a fiscal effect on agency operations. Any fiscal effect associated with SB 392 is not reflected in The FY 2025 Governor’s Budget Report. Sincerely, Adam C. Proffitt Director of the Budget cc: William Hendrix, Office of the Attorney General Paul Weisgerber, Kansas Bureau of Investigation Alexandra Blasi, Board of Pharmacy
