SB 301 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of September 27, 1961 (P.L.1700, No.699), known as the Pharmacy Act, providing for price disclosure.

SB 301 requires Pennsylvania pharmacies to disclose specific pricing information to consumers upon request for prescription medications. This includes the current retail price for brand-name and generic drugs, the consumer's cost-sharing amount under their insurance, and details about subsidized health coverage through Pennsylvania's health insurance exchange. Pharmacies must keep records of this information, post clear notices about the disclosure right, and present details in simple terms. Failure to comply results in a $500 fine per violation. The law applies to all retail pharmacies and directly affects consumers making prescription purchasing decisions.
