Several county executives, associations and the mayor of Baltimore are urging the Maryland General Assembly to override Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto of HB 1095, which would establish a funding source for the Maryland Prescription Drug Affordability Board. The effort will include a radio ad campaign, sponsored by Maryland Citizens’ Health Initiative and AARP Maryland.
In mid-January, the Maryland Senate voted to override Hogan’s veto of a measure that would fund the Prescription Drug Affordability Board. The measure, SB 669, passed the Senate unanimously and with a nearly bipartisan split in the House of Delegates in March. The bill would fund the board by charging drug manufacturers, insurers, wholesalers and pharmaceutical managers a fee.

Maryland’s county and city leaders teamed up on Tuesday to urge the General Assembly to override Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto of legislation that would establish a permanent funding source for the Prescription Drug Affordability Board.
The Senate voted to override the veto in January. The House of Delegates is expected to consider a veto override later this month. Hogan vetoed the legislation last year along with 21 other bills due to fiscal concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic. The legislation unanimously passed the Senate and received overwhelming support in the House.
