SB 11: AN ACT CONCERNING PRESCRIPTION DRUG ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY.

SB 11 establishes a price cap for certain prescription drugs in Connecticut, directly affecting pharmaceutical manufacturers and wholesale distributors. It sets a "reference price" for "identified prescription drugs" (brand-name drugs with expired patents over 24 months or generic drugs) based on historical costs, adjusted annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index. Manufacturers and distributors cannot sell these drugs above the reference price after January 1, 2026, unless a federal shortage exists. Violations trigger a civil penalty calculated as 80% of excess revenue, but only if annual sales exceed $250,000 in the state. The law aims to make prescription drugs more affordable by limiting price increases beyond inflation for covered medications.
