HB 1147 adds protections for healthcare entities that participate in the federal 340B drug pricing program by prohibiting insurance administrators from discriminating against them or denying their licenses based solely on that participation. The bill amends South Dakota's insurance laws to ensure that participation in the 340B program—which allows certain hospitals and clinics to purchase drugs at discounted prices—cannot be used as grounds for license suspension, revocation, or denial by state insurance regulators.
