Legislative committee votes down bill to penalize drug companies for price gouging The pharmaceutical industry has made it clear that it will sue Maine if the state approves the measure, which now goes to the full Legislature. Share A legislative committee on Thursday voted against a bill to assess hefty fines on generic drug manufacturers that jack up prices, rejecting the proposal after the industry made clear it would sue Maine if it became law. Democrats on the committee were deeply divided over the “excessive pricing” bill despite assurances from Maine’s attorney general that his office would defend it in court. While another measure to strengthen Maine’s 2-year-old drug price monitoring program earned a committee endorsement, a majority of members weren’t swayed by Senate President Troy Jackson’s fiery comments that it was worth the legal risk to combat price gouging.
