GAP Supply Act

Sponsored By: Representative Carter, Earl L. "Buddy" [R-GA-1]

Introduced

Summary

GAP Supply Act would give outsourcing facilities a fixed 180-calendar-day window to compound and distribute drugs that are declared in shortage, helping keep short-term supplies available. The bill would amend section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by replacing timing phrases like "at the time" with "within 180 calendar days" in the listed subsections, creating a short-term compliance tail for outsourcing compounders to mitigate temporary drug shortages.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Short-term drug shortage relief for patients

This bill would let outsourcing facilities keep compounding drugs during shortages for a short time. It would change two timing phrases in section 503B (subsections (a)(2)(A)(ii) and (d)(2)(A)). Those phrases would say actions must occur within 180 calendar days instead of "at the time". That 180-day window would help keep supplies available while longer fixes are arranged. The change would not create new funding or new regulatory programs.
