Protects Hawaii's 340B program by prohibiting restrictions on contract pharmacies.

This bill aims to safeguard the 340B drug pricing program in Hawaii, ensuring that nonprofit hospitals, safety net providers, and other eligible entities can continue to use contract pharmacies to provide affordable medications to low-income and uninsured populations. The bill prohibits covered entities from entering into contracts that restrict the use of contract pharmacies and voids any such contract provisions based on the maximum allowable cost payment model.
