AB 1460, explained
Prescription drug pricing.
Active In Committee Process · Author: Rogers
In plain English
This bill would stop drug manufacturers from punishing community clinics that participate in a federal discount program (called 340B) if those clinics use certain pharmacies to dispense drugs. It would make sure these clinics can still get the discounted prices the federal program promises, even when they use outside pharmacies to fill prescriptions.
If this passes
What would actually change, according to the bill's official digest. No predictions, no opinions.
- Drug manufacturers would be prohibited from discriminating against qualifying community clinics that use contract pharmacies or other specified pharmacies to dispense discounted drugs
- Manufacturers would not be allowed to add extra conditions, restrictions, or denials that would prevent these clinics from purchasing or receiving drugs at the discounted federal price
- Manufacturers would not be allowed to interfere with these clinics' ability to keep the benefit of the discounted pricing when using a specified pharmacy
