The Alabama House of Representatives has passed SB252, which aims to protect community pharmacies by ensuring they are fairly compensated for the cost to fill prescriptions.

“This legislation will undoubtedly help community pharmacies keep their doors open and continue serving patients, which is a big win for the state of Alabama,” said Speaker Ledbetter. “Members of the Legislature are sent to Montgomery to solve complex issues affecting their districts – and this one is as challenging as they come, impacting every corner of our state. Accomplishing this is a testament to the strength of the legislative process, and I commend Rep. Rigsby and the rest of my colleagues for staying the course on this important issue.”
