Question presentedPharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, Petitioner v. Sean O'Day, in His Official Capacity as Director of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services1. When a state law requires a pharmaceutical company to file reports with the government disclosing information about drug pricing, does that law violate the company’s right to free speech? 2.
