PEAT Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Rulli, Michael A. [R-OH-6]

Introduced

Summary

Prevents reclassifying a biologic as a 'biological product' solely because it includes a clinically inactive protein. The bill would amend 42 U.S.C. 262(i)(1) to add a new subparagraph that bars treating a biologic as a biological product based only on a clinically inactive protein, preserve the existing definitional anchor, make a minor punctuation correction, and would not create new funding or change eligibility, benefits, enforcement, or program structures.

Biologic makers shielded from reclassification

This bill would stop regulators from treating some biologic medicines as "biological products" just because they contain a clinically inactive protein. It would do this by amending 42 U.S.C. 262(i)(1) to add that prohibition. The change would mainly affect companies that make or sell those biologics, and the text shows no new funding or effective date.
