Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Protects discounted drug access at clinics
Drug makers, their agents, and third‑party logistics providers cannot block delivery of 340B discount drugs to any site a covered provider authorizes. This does not apply when federal law bans receipt of the drug. They also cannot require claims, medical, encounter, utilization, purchasing, or other data to allow shipment, unless federal law requires it. This keeps lower‑cost medicines available at safety‑net clinics and their authorized pharmacies.
State can sue to protect discount drugs
The law defines which drugs and providers count under the 340B discount program, using federal rules as of January 1, 2025. The Attorney General or any county attorney can ask a court to stop violations of these protections. These tools help protect clinics’ and patients’ access to discounted drugs.
