This bill authorizes the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to require updates to outdated labels for certain generic drugs if the updates will provide a public health benefit. Generally, the FDA may use this authority to update the label of a generic version of a brand-name drug that has been withdrawn from the market for reasons other than safety or effectiveness.
