review board (board) to take certain measures in determining whether to conduct an affordability review for an identified prescription drug. The bill requires the board, in making such a determination, to consider whether the drug has an approved orphan drug designation for one or more rare diseases and no other indications and, if so, to consider input from consumers and the Colorado rare disease advisory council (council).
