Senator Jay Rockefeller [D-WV] has introduced
S. 438, "The Fair Prescription Drug Act of 2007," which would ban the sale of authorized generic drugs during an ANDA applicant's 180-day exclusivity period.
The bill is cosponsored by Senators Kohl [D-WI], Leahy, [D-VT], and Schumer [D-NY].
The same bill was proposed last year as S. 3695. Senator Kohl expressed optimism that the bill would have better prospects this time around - and it just might, given that the Democrats now control Congress.
