Bill overview
This bill prohibits pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) from operating pharmacy practice sites directly or indirectly in New Jersey. It aims to prevent conflicts of interest and promote competition within the pharmacy market. The bill establishes a process for the New Jersey State Board of Pharmacy to assess PBMs’ involvement in pharmacy operations and to notify affected pharmacies and patients. A special permit may be issued for rare medications, but it will expire in September 2028.
