Protecting Employer-Provided Health Care Benefits in Iowa

The Iowa Association of Business and Industry (ABI) is actively engaged in protecting employers’ ability to offer affordable, flexible, and high-quality health care benefits for their employees.

ABI is leading a legal challenge to Senate File 383, Iowa’s Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) law, which imposes costly and restrictive mandates on employer-sponsored health plans.

On July 21, 2025, a federal court granted ABI’s request for a preliminary injunction, blocking enforcement of key parts of the law as applied to ERISA-governed health plans administered or sponsored by ABI members.

This preliminary injunction is a critical step in preventing the law’s immediate impact while litigation continues.
