The ERISA Industry Committee Concerned North Carolina Pharmacy Benefit Manager Legislation Oversteps State Authority, Violates Federal Law

WASHINGTON, June 1, 2023 – The ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC) today said it has “deep concerns” with North Carolina House Bill 246 and the expansive regulation of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) that it proposes. Namely, the bill contains several provisions that seek to control the design and administration of self-insured employer health plans governed solely by the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), which PBMs often administer. To highlight the negative impacts posed by HB 246, ERIC developed a legislative outlook memo to better inform advocacy organizations and stakeholder groups also engaged on this statewide effort.
