PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST 340B ENTITIES
HB 78 prohibits New Mexico drug manufacturers and their affiliates from discriminating against entities participating in the federal 340B drug pricing program. It directly affects community health centers, hospitals, and clinics that serve low-income patients and their contracted pharmacies, ensuring they can access discounted drugs without interference. The law specifically bans manufacturers from denying, restricting, or interfering with the acquisition or delivery of 340B drugs to these entities or requiring extra data sharing beyond federal requirements. Signed into law on April 9, 2025, this bill enforces compliance with federal 340B program rules at the state level.
