AI Summary

This bill aims to protect the integrity of the federal 340B drug pricing program, which provides discounted outpatient medications to eligible healthcare providers serving low-income and uninsured populations, by prohibiting drug manufacturers from restricting how these providers access and dispense these drugs through contract pharmacies, and by requiring covered entities and manufacturers to report detailed information about their participation in the program to the state, with penalties for non-compliance and a new filing fee to support the state's data collection and reporting efforts.
