“The current regulatory environment created by the FDA has forced American companies to eliminate jobs and move operations overseas,” said Coats in the release. “Unpredictable and burdensome regulations from this agency have severely impacted medical device manufacturing, an important industry in Indiana’s economy. These are tough economic times, and we need to support, not punish, our job creators so they can innovate and expand. This legislation will encourage the development of innovative products and protect American jobs.”
