S 3014 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Ensuring Timely Access to Generics Act of 2025

This bill amends FDA review procedures to prevent delays in generic drug approvals. It requires drug companies challenging generic applications to submit a petition to the FDA within 180 days of knowing the relevant information, rather than immediately filing lawsuits. The FDA must issue a final decision on such petitions within 151 days, and courts will automatically dismiss lawsuits that skip this step or miss the 180-day deadline. These changes directly affect pharmaceutical manufacturers seeking to challenge generic drug approvals or delay their market entry.
