law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

The governor has argued the state needs to limit how pharmacy middlemen negotiate prices for drugs, as PBMs continue to drive up the cost of healthcare. This bill could stop PBMs from spread pricing, where they charge Medicaid more money than was paid for the drugs and receive a cut of the profit.
The legislation to lower drug prices by cracking down on pharmacy benefit managers is heading to Gov. JB Pritzker's desk.
