DPC Provides Testimony in Opposition to Minnesota House File 3609

The Domestic Policy Caucus provided written testimony in opposition to Minnesota House File 3609, which would cement the current, flawed 340B policy in the state, for the March 18, 2026, meeting of the House Health Finance & Policy Committee.

In part, DPC wrote, “Current 340B legislation has a sunset clause extending to the middle of 2027. There is no need to act on 340B in Minnesota before next year… Proposing H.F. 3609 at this time is premature… At a time when Minnesota is mired in a regime of fraud and abuse, it is not appropriate to push forward with another massive program that lacks transparency and reeks of abuse. If you move forward with H.F. 3609, then you are voting to be part of the problem… The sunset provision in the current law is an opportunity. Just like sunsets in nature give you the opportunity to reflect on the day and look forward to a better day tomorrow, a sunset provision like the one in the current law regarding 340B gives you the opportunity to look reflect on how the law has worked and where it needs reform and to make changes before the sunset comes in the summer of 2027 so that 340B serves Minnesotans in the best way possible.”
