Tell the House to Pass the FDA Modernization Act 3.0
In an exciting and crucial step forward, the U.S. Senate has passed the FDA Modernization Act 3.0!
Now, it’s up to the House of Representatives to take action before the congressional session ends — and our elected officials need to hear from us right now to make sure this critical bill moves forward.
If the House considers and passes this bill, it could — in a watershed moment for animals exploited in laboratories and humans awaiting life-saving therapies — be signed into law before the end of 2024.
The FDA Modernization Act 3.0 builds on the 2022 FDA Modernization Act 2.0, which eliminated the FDA’s harmful and unscientific requirement that human therapies be tested on nonhuman animals.
Although the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 represented a groundbreaking victory, the FDA has skirted the law’s mandate by failing to bring its regulations in line with the law. In fact, at present — nearly two years after 2.0’s passage — FDA regulations still require animal research, and the FDA has ignored congressional inquiries to address this matter.
The FDA Modernization Act 3.0 would force the FDA into legal compliance by requiring it to update its regulations within six months of enactment.
By so doing, the bill would be expected to both:
- Reduce animal exploitation (sparing many animals from being treated as “tools” for human science); and
- Advance better human science (catalyzing investment in non-animal, human-relevant research that improves the reliability, speed, cost-effectiveness, and ethics of medical innovation).
