The Minnesota Court of Appeals Feb. 17 affirmed a lower court decision in ruling that the state's 340B contract pharmacy law is not preempted by federal law. Additionally, the appeals court ruled that the state law does not engage in unconstitutional extraterritorial regulation and does not violate Minnesota's Single Subject and Title Clause. The AHA filed an amicus brief in the case in 2024 and filed others in similar cases for multiple states, in defense of 340B contract pharmacy laws in those states.
