Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) vetoed companion bills (HB 570 / SB 274) that would have created a Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) in the state. This move comes as three other states actively conduct affordability reviews of prescription drugs nationwide. NACDS will be monitoring the final outcome of the bill when the Legislature returns later this spring for its veto session. NACDS joined other organizations in expressing opposition to the bill to Gov. Youngkin.
