This bill revises the requirements for contracts between employer-sponsored health plans and provider networks, third-party administrators, or pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).

The bill establishes civil penalties for violations of these requirements.
The Department of Labor must report on the status of health plans' ability to access to certain de-identified claim information.
