Draft 340B Program Legislation Could Be Included in 21st Century Cures Legislative Package
Late Friday, the House Energy and Commerce Committee staff circulated to a small number of organizations a “discussion draft” of 340B program legislation that could significantly alter the 340B program. There is a possibility that the discussion draft, which one committee staffer described as a bipartisan effort of Committee staff members, will be added to the 21st Century Cures legislation at a mark-up session by the House Energy and Commerce Committee that is slated to begin tonight with opening statements. A copy of the discussion draft and a document showing Section 340B with the discussion draft changes applied are embedded in this memorandum.
