Episode #58: July 2025 – Legislative Session Recap: The Road to PBM Reform

On this episode of IPA’s What, Why & How podcast, Kate Gainer welcomes IPA lobbyist Kate Walton to recap the 2025 Iowa Legislative Session and the steps that led to the passage of IPA’s PBM reform bill, SF 383, which was signed into law by Governor Kim Reynolds on June 11, 2025. **A lawsuit was filed in federal court against SF 383 on June 23, 2025. A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction, temporarily blocking most of SF 383 from being enforced against the named plaintiffs. SF 383 remains enforceable for all fully insured health plans regulated by the Iowa Insurance Division, as well as any self-funded plans not named in the lawsuit.
