ALEXANDRIA, Va. (May 14, 2021) The National Community Pharmacists Association issued the following statement on behalf of CEO B. Douglas Hoey, pharmacist, MBA, urging Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) to sign HB 1763, which unanimously passed the state House and Senate:
“Pharmacies are among the most trusted and accessible health care providers but unfortunately, PBM overreach threatens their ability to stay in business and provide health services that patients need. We strongly urge Gov. Abbott to sign HB 1763, reining in PBMs and protecting Texas’ small business pharmacies and those they serve. Texans will be the ones to suffer if PBMs continue to engage in unfair business practices and interfere with patient care.”
The Texas Hill Country is known for its picturesque waterways, including natural springs, artificial lakes and secluded swimming holes and the residents who work to defend them.
Residents and environmental activists, who worry that the nutrient-rich discharge will affect the ecological balance in the water and potentially lead to algae blooms and other problems, have fought construction of these plants through numerous avenues including at the Texas Capitol.
For years, these activists have pushed lawmakers to block the issuance of new discharge permits in areas deemed sensitive, including the contributing zone of the Edwards Aquifer, but the legislation has languished in committees and failed to make it to the full House or Senate for consideration.
