Boozman's Senate office announced that Boozman and other Senate 340B Bipartisan Working Group members introduced the SUSTAIN 340B Act. The release says the bill aims to provide stability, clarity, and transparency in 340B while preserving benefits for eligible providers and patients, and lists reforms including contract pharmacy rules, patient definition, transparency reporting, program integrity, duplicate-discount prevention, and financial-assistance policy requirements.
Assessments
Boozman was an original Senate cosponsor of S. 5244, the SUSTAIN 340B Act, introduced on August 5, 2026, and his office publicly promoted the bill as addressing stability, clarity, transparency, program integrity, and patient/provider support in the 340B program. That is a serious same-term legislative effort matching the promise to advance the act. However, as of August 27, 2026, the bill had only been read twice and referred to the Senate HELP Committee, with no committee passage, chamber passage, enactment, or implemented 340B program changes. Because the promised policy outcome remains incomplete, this merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
