What’s happening with PBM Act?
The PBM Act of 2024 remains in the House and Senate Judiciary Committees as of May 12, 2026. Committee members must hold a vote to move these bills forward, but most legislation fails because committees choose not to act. This effort faces a high hurdle since the vast majority of bills never receive a committee vote.
