What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "No 340B Savings for Transgender Care Act," aims to restrict how certain funds are used. It would amend the Public Health Service Act to prohibit 340B covered entities from using specific savings. These savings come from the difference between the 340B ceiling price and the actual acquisition cost of outpatient drugs. The prohibition specifically targets funds used for sex reassignment surgeries and hormonal therapies intended for gender alteration.
