VT Bill Addresses Privacy of AI in Healthcare

The Vermont House passed a bill (HB 814) to bolster privacy protections around the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare. The bill would establish “neurological rights” to protect individuals’ data from being used without their consent. The bill now goes to the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare.

States Aim to Block PBMs from Owning Pharmacies

Legislation advancing in Tennessee (SB 2040/HB 1959) would prohibit pharmacy benefit managers from owning pharmacies in the state. Arkansas became the first to pass such a bill (HB 1150 [2025]) last year. Similar proposals failed this year in Indiana, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Texas, but others are still pending in Arizona, New York and Vermont. (PLURIBUS NEWS, LEXISNEXIS STATE NET)
