Grassley Urges White House to Finish Sunshine Act Regulations

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa today urged the White House to finalize the Physician Payments Sunshine Act regulations that will disclose the financial relationships between drug and medical device companies and doctors. “Congress designed the law so that the data would be publicly available by Sept. 30, 2013,” Grassley wrote to White House chief of staff Jacob Lew. “Unfortunately, the final regulations are now more than 15 months overdue. At best, the public may miss an entire year's worth of data collection — perhaps more. This is unacceptable.”
