Supreme Court of California

Civil Code section 2527, which requires prescription drug claims processors to compile and summarize information on pharmacy fees and to transmit the information to their clients, does implicate the right to free speech guaranteed by article I of the California Constitution, but the statute, which requires factual disclosures in a commercial setting, is subject to rational basis review and satisfies that standard because the compelled disclosures are reasonably related to the Legislature's legitimate objective of promoting informed decision-making about prescription drug reimbursement rates.
