governmental health plans, and pharmacy benefit managers from requiring, until
June 30, 2021, prior authorization for early refills of a prescription drug or otherwise
restricting the period in which a prescription drug may be refilled and from imposing
a limit on the quantity of prescription drugs that may be obtained if the quantity is
no more than a 90-day supply. These prohibitions do not apply if the prescription
drug is a controlled substance. The bill reinstates the prohibitions that were enacted
