Since the introduction of the BIOSECURE Act in January, named companies and U.S.-based biopharmas alike have speculated on what the legislation could mean for the life sciences industry. 

In this week's episode of "The Top Line," Fierce Pharma staff writer Fraiser Kansteiner sits down with Arnold & Porter’s Life Sciences practice chair Dan Kracov to discuss the broader implications of the bill, and what the likely next steps are for the legislation to become law. 

Kracov also breaks down what measures life sciences companies are already taking in light of the bill and concessions that may need to be made to appease lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
