Effective date 6/11/2026.
Summary
The law prohibits drug makers, distributors, and logistics providers from denying or restricting 340B‑priced medicines to eligible safety‑net providers or their contract pharmacies, and bars them from demanding data as a condition for sales. It also requires covered entities to submit detailed annual 340B usage and savings reports, with civil penalties for violations. The measure aims to keep discounted drugs accessible to vulnerable Washington residents.
