Bill > LR124

This resolution directs the Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee of the Nebraska Legislature to conduct an interim study examining the role of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in the state's health insurance industry and their potential impact on prescription drug prices. PBMs are third-party administrators that manage prescription drug programs for health insurers, employers, and other organizations, and they play a significant role in determining drug pricing and reimbursement. The committee is tasked with investigating how these entities operate within Nebraska's healthcare system and will be required to compile a comprehensive report of its findings and recommendations, which will be presented to the Legislative Council or the full Legislature upon completion of the study. This type of interim study is a common legislative mechanism for gathering detailed information about complex industry practices and potential policy interventions.
