The Act was signed on November 12, 2025, so the amendments took effect that day. The fees are the exception: they are charged from the start of the fiscal year whatever the date of signing.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: set the effective date, with the exception it makes for the fees.

Nothing else. The section is one sentence.

The section names part 10 of subchapter C of chapter VII of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. That law is not indexed here, so this file does not say what fees that part sets.
