AI Summary
This bill, titled the "FDA Modernization Act 3.0," requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (FDA), to publish an interim final rule within one year of enactment. This rule will update regulations to replace references to "animal" tests, data, studies, models, and research with "nonclinical" tests, data, studies, models, and research, aligning with previous legislative changes to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The bill also mandates the inclusion of the definition of "nonclinical test" in specific sections of the Code of Federal Regulations, which are the official rules and regulations published by the U.S. government. This update aims to modernize the language used in regulatory documents to reflect advancements in scientific testing methods and ensure consistency with existing law, and the interim rule will take effect immediately.
