What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Growing America's Pharmaceutical Supply Act" or the "GAP Supply Act," seeks to amend section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The primary goal is to help outsourcing facilities better manage drug shortages. It does this by allowing these facilities a short-term period to keep supplying the market after a drug has entered a shortage. The amendment changes specific language regarding timing to include a 180-calendar-day window.
