CVS Health (CVS) will close over 20 pharmacies in Arkansas after the state passed a law that bans pharmacy benefit managers from owning or operating pharmacies, news outlets reported Thursday.

CVS, which has 23 pharmacies across Arkansas, thinks the new law will also result in closure of more than 100 mail-order pharmacies in the state, according to the news outlets, citing the statement.
