S 1830 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Right to Treat Act

S 1830, the Right to Treat Act, prohibits federal agencies like the FDA from regulating the practice of medicine and bans restrictions on prescribing FDA-approved drugs for unapproved uses. It directly affects doctors, patients, and pharmaceutical companies by removing federal barriers to off-label drug prescriptions. The bill explicitly excludes federal laws related to abortion, assisted suicide, euthanasia, or gender transition medical interventions from its scope. This is a procedural change to federal regulatory authority, not a new program or funding measure.
