Competing FOB Legislation May Be Introduced This Week

March 11, 2009
Reps. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) may introduce competing follow-on biologic (FOB) bills in the House this week. Waxman’s legislation could move through the House Energy and Commerce Committee because he chairs it, Ann Witt, Waxman’s health counsel, said. Eshoo also has plans to introduce a bill this week, as she did a year ago when she and House Energy and Commerce Committee ranking member Joe Barton (R-Texas) introduced the Pathway for Biosimilars Act, H.R. 5629.
