CO HB1264

Replaces the phrase "federal food and drug administration" with the abbreviation "FDA" in multiple Colorado health insurance statutes for consistency and clarity.

Updates references in sections covering opioid dependence treatment, oral anticancer medications, off-label cancer drug use, prior authorization for health-care services, and abuse-deterrent opioid analgesic drugs.

Repeals a separate definition of "FDA" in the medication-assisted treatment statute, eliminating redundant language since the abbreviation is now standard throughout the code.

Takes effect 12:01 a.m. on the day following the 90-day period after final adjournment of the general assembly, or if subject to a referendum petition, only upon voter approval at the November 2022 general election.
