Bill Summary
General Description: This bill addresses the 340B drug discount program.
AI Summary
This bill addresses the 340B drug discount program by establishing new regulations for pharmaceutical manufacturers. The 340B program allows certain healthcare providers, such as hospitals and community health centers, to purchase prescription drugs at discounted rates. The bill prohibits manufacturers from restricting or interfering with 340B entities' and pharmacies' ability to contract with each other, including preventing access to drugs or denying 340B pricing. Specifically, manufacturers cannot block pharmacies from working with 340B entities, prevent 340B entities from receiving discounted drug pricing, require entities to purchase drugs from specific suppliers, or demand additional claim or contract data beyond what is federally required. The bill also allows the Public Employees' Benefit and Insurance Program to adjust its practices to mitigate any financial impacts from these new restrictions, and explicitly states that nothing in the bill should conflict with federal law. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, and aims to protect 340B entities' and pharmacies' operational flexibility in acquiring and dispensing discounted medications.
