💨 Abstract

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a bill on April 16, 2025, prohibiting pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from owning or operating pharmacies, making Arkansas the first state to enact such a restriction. The move comes as other states consider similar restrictions on PBMs, which manage prescription drug coverage for big clients such as health insurers and employers.
