The committee approved LD 2005 as amended, directing pharmacy benefits managers to allow network pharmacies to dispense up to a seven‑day supply (or the smallest pre‑packaged dose) when a mail‑order prescription is delayed or arrives unusable, and to ensure patients are charged no more than one copayment for the same drug. Industry suggested shortening the window to three days; committee adopted the seven‑day language.

Sen. Chip Curry’s LD 2134 would allow a narrow exception for small groceries (under 26,000 sq ft) with independently leased pharmacies to continue tobacco sales if established before July 7, 2025. Grocery and independent pharmacy groups said the change preserves rural pharmacy access; public‑health groups urged targeted investments instead of a statutory carve‑out.
