B. The Department shall establish, by regulation, licensure procedures, required disclosures for pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) and other rules as may be necessary for carrying out and enforcing the provisions of this act. The licensure procedures shall, at a minimum, include the completion of an application form that shall include the name and address of an agent for service of process, the payment of a requisite fee, and evidence of the procurement of a surety bond.
