What the document says

“Sections 744L and 744M of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379j-71; 379j-72) shall cease to be effective October 1, 2030.”

Making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 6509

The fee program is written to end rather than to run on, which is why Congress renews it in a bill of this kind every few years.

What the document actually says

“Sections 744L and 744M of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379j-71; 379j-72) shall cease to be effective October 1, 2030.”

Making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 6509
That sentence, in plain words

The two parts that set up these fees stop working on October 1, 2030.

What this is about

The fee rules are set to die on their own. If Congress wants them to go on, it has to act again.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
