Mississippi law: Pharmacies can decline to sell drugs
A new Mississippi law will allow a pharmacy in a network to decline to provide drugs or service if the pharmacy is paid less than the acquisition cost for the product.
The law, which goes into effect July 1, was pushed by independent pharmacists in the state, but will benefit all pharmacists, said the bill’s author, House Public Health and Welfare Chairman Sam Mims, R-McComb,
The Legislature passed House Bill 456 this year and it has been signed by Gov. Phil Bryant.
