Summary

Protecting Access to Biosimilars Act of 2019 This bill excludes biological products that were initially licensed under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (e.g., insulin) from the exclusivity protections that delay the licensure of biosimilar products under the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act).
