Donating to AP-PAC is Contributing to Pharmacy's Future The 92nd Arkansas General Assembly saw legislators pass legislation expanding PBM regulation and significant changes to the pharmacy practice. The Arkansas Pharmacists Association Political Action Committee (AP-PAC) is one way that pharmacists can support legislators that have stood up to the PBM industry and made actual change, bringing Arkansas into the national spotlight. Please consider making an AP-PAC contribution now for the upcoming 2020 state elections so we can help those legislators who have fought for pharmacy. Your contribution could make a big difference! Donations to AP-PAC support Arkansas political candidates who support pharmacy. Individual or corporate donations are accepted up to $5,000 per year. PAC donations are eligible for an individual income tax credit of $50 or $100 depending on if you file single or jointly. If you donate directly to an Arkansas political candidate, the limit is $2,800 per election but must be a donation from an individual only, corporations cannot donate directly to a candidate but they can donate to the Legal & Legislative Defense Fund or the AP-PAC. To make a donation, mail a check to: AP-PAC, P.O. Box 3798, Little Rock, AR 72203 or donate online at www.arrx.org/arkansas-pharmacists-pac WWW.ARRX.ORG
