Utah law already prohibits pharmaceutical manufacturers from interfering with the federal 340B drug discount program, which lets safety-net providers such as community health centers and rural hospitals buy certain drugs at reduced prices. This bill adds clear legal definitions for terms like "340B covered entity," "340B eligible drug," "contracted pharmacy," and "pharmacy" to specify exactly who and what the law's protections apply to. It also expands the ban on requiring entities to hand over contract, claims, or utilization data as a condition of accessing 340B drugs so that this protection now covers contracted pharmacies as well as the covered entities themselves, unless such data sharing is required under federal law. The bill keeps other existing protections in place, including bans on restricting where 340B drugs can be delivered, imposing time limits on replenishing or submitting claims for these drugs, and interfering with contracts between pharmacies and covered entities.
