S 1631 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Restoring Safeguards for Dangerous Abortion Drugs Act

This bill would require the FDA to replace current regulations for mifepristone (the drug sold as Mifeprex) with the 2011 risk management plan, reversing recent changes. It bans the importation of mifepristone into the U.S. (including by mail) and creates a federal civil liability for entities that illegally import or transport the drug, allowing individuals harmed by the drug to sue for damages. The law directly affects drug manufacturers, importers, telehealth providers, and pharmacies that handle mifepristone, and would make it illegal to import the drug regardless of state laws. It does not change how the drug is prescribed or dispensed within the U.S. but targets its importation and imposes new legal consequences for violations.
