AI Summary
This bill prohibits brand name drug and biological product manufacturers from compensating generic drug and biosimilar manufacturers to delay the entry of their competing products into the market. The bill gives the Federal Trade Commission the authority to enforce these prohibitions as unfair or deceptive acts or practices and to seek civil penalties for violations. The bill also requires certification of any agreements between brand name and generic or biosimilar manufacturers, and allows the 180-day exclusivity period for generic drugs to be forfeited if the agreement violates the bill's provisions.
