Friday, February 7, 2025 – 2:00PM EST

This week, SB875 and HB2610 successfully passed their respective chambers and have now moved to the opposite house for further consideration. However, we need your voice to ensure these bills make it through the next committee votes!

How You Can Help?

  1. Contact Key Legislators
    • If your legislator is on the committee reviewing these bills, reach out today via phone, email, or text. Let them know you support PBM reform to protect community pharmacies and patient care.
  2. Use This Sample Script
    • “Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a [Pharmacist/Pharmacy Student/Patient] in Virginia. I urge you to support the Save Local Pharmacies Act (HB2610/SB875) to ensure Medicaid patients have access to medications, vaccinations, and pharmacy services. This bill will help keep community pharmacies open and save the Commonwealth millions in healthcare costs. We strongly support the language in SB875 and urge that HB2610 be amended to mirror it. Aligning these bills will ensure the most effective and comprehensive reforms to protect patient access and the viability of community pharmacies across Virginia.”
  3. Thank the Bill’s Supporters
    • Show appreciation to the bill patrons who have championed this effort. Contact them to express your thanks and encourage their continued support.
