SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Nonproliferation Assistance
Coordination Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) United States nonproliferation efforts in the
        independent states of the former Soviet Union have achieved
        important results in ensuring that weapons of mass destruction,
        weapons-usable material and technology, and weapons-related
        knowledge remain beyond the reach of terrorists and weapons-
        proliferating states;
            (2) although these efforts are in the United States
        national security interest, the effectiveness of these efforts
        suffers from a lack of coordination within and among United
        States Government agencies;
            (3) increased spending and investment by the United States
        private sector on nonproliferation efforts in the independent
        states of the former Soviet Union, specifically, spending and
        investment by the United States private sector in job creation
        initiatives and proposals for unemployed Russian weapons
        scientists and technicians, is making an important contribution
        in ensuring that knowledge related to weapons of mass
        destruction remains beyond the reach of terrorists and weapons-
        proliferating states; and
            (4) increased spending and investment by the United States
        private sector on nonproliferation efforts in the independent
        states of the former Soviet Union requires the establishment of
        a coordinating body to ensure that United States public and
        private efforts are not in conflict, and to ensure that public
        spending on efforts by the independent states of the former
        Soviet Union is maximized to ensure efficiency and further
        United States national security interests.

SEC. 3. INDEPENDENT STATES OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION DEFINED.

                program saves through increased generic drug
                substitution.

                affordability of prescriptions.
                    (C) An analysis of future estimated savings to
                State Medicaid programs and the Federal Government

Output:
Affordable Medicines Utilization Act of 2011 - Amends title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act (SSA), with respect to FY2012-FY2014, to require an increase in the quarterly Medicaid payment to a state by 50% of the generic drug utilization savings amount if the state's generic substitution rate for the most recent preceding fiscal year for which data is available is greater than its rate for the most recent second preceding fiscal year for which data is available.

Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to determine the state's generic substitution rate for such fiscal years.

Defines "generic substitution rate" as the share of all drug units for which Medicaid payment is made to a state for the 20 most widely prescribed multiple source drugs under the state program that have a specific National Drug Code.

Directs the Secretary to provide for payments to eligible states for implementation of programs to achieve reductions in expenditures under Medicaid or under SSA title XVIII (Medicare) (innovative health care savings program).
