American Medicine Safety and Security Act

S 2986, the American Medicine Safety and Security Act, restricts employment and access to sensitive data at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on foreign nationality ties. It prohibits employment at the FDA for nationals of China, Russia, or Iran, requires employees with immediate family (parents, siblings, or children) from those countries to report this, and mandates termination for non-reporting. The bill also bans FDA employees from working for 10 years with entities in those countries after leaving the FDA and restricts access to drug/device data if employees have family ties to or prior work with those nations. These provisions directly affect FDA employees and contractors, aiming to limit potential security risks through specific employment and data access rules.
