HB 3317/SB 1236 Oppose One-Pager – Federal Overreach and Contract Mandates Risk Market Disruption

TAHP opposes House Bill 3317 and Senate Bill 1236, which overstep federal boundaries by extending Texas insurance mandates to ERISA-regulated health plans and imposing sweeping transparency requirements that compromise contract confidentiality. While well-intended, the bills could disrupt pharmacy benefit operations, hinder anti-fraud efforts, and upend established PSAO contracting practices. Texas should focus this legislation on the markets it regulates and protect patient safety without undermining plan integrity or increasing costs.
