House Approves FDA Overhaul, Senate Expected To Follow

The House yesterday overwhelmingly passed FDA overhaul and user fee legislation that represented a compromise with the Senate, and the Senate was expected to follow suit today.

The bill, approved 405-7, included several compromises to push the legislation through by the end of the week so the FDA could avoid having to send out layoff notices to employees whose salaries would be affected if the user fee programs expired Sept. 30.
