"Effective pharmacy legislation is essential for safeguarding public health."

The Pharmacists Society of Orange County is an affiliate of the Pharmacists Society of the State of New York. The aim of the state society is to unite the pharmacists of the State for mutual assistance, encouragement, and improvement in order to maintain the standard of pharmacy practice at a high professional and ethical level. The Pharmacists Society of Orange County was organized to improve the condition in general in the profession of pharmacy and for the elevation and advancement of professional and business knowledge among the pharmacists in the Orange County area. A concerted action and comparison of ideas are necessary for the advancement of such causes. The Pharmacists Society of Orange County works in close cooperation and affiliation with the Pharmacists Society of the State of New York to facilitate the accomplishment of our purposes.

Current Priority Legislation

BUMP Act

PBMs should not own pharmacies because it creates a built-in conflict of interest, allowing them to steer patients and profits to their own operations. Separating PBMs from pharmacy ownership promotes fair competition, transparency, and protects patient choice.

Patient Access to Pharmacy Act

The Patient Access to Pharmacy Act (PAPA) aims to rein in PBM practices and ensure fair reimbursement so community pharmacies can stay open. By strengthening pharmacy viability, it protects patients’ access to timely, local care and essential medications.
