H.R. 4013 & H.R. 4014

Have Been Passed by Congress!!

 
On October 17, 2002 , both H.R. 4013 (the Rare Disease Act) and H.R. 4014 (the Rare Disease Orphan Product Development Act) were approved by the Senate, after having earlier been approved by the House of Representatives. The Bills were signed by President Bush on November 2, 2002 and became law. CARES is grateful to all who joined us in support of these important Bills, which will greatly increase rare-disease research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
