The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will no longer require all drugs to be tested on animals, thanks to the FDA Modernization Act 2.0. The new law has everyone from Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) cheering.
The FDA Modernization Act 2.0 was passed as part of the omnibus appropriations bill that Congress passed in late December. "The inclusion of this bipartisan effort is a step toward ending the needless suffering and death of animal test subjects – which I'm glad both Republicans and Democrats can agree needs to end," said Paul, who co-sponsored the bill with Sen. Cory Booker (D–N.J.), in a statement.
