HR 238 United States House · 119th Congress

Healthy Technology Act of 2025

This bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to allow artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to legally prescribe drugs under specific conditions. It requires AI systems to be both authorized by state law and approved by the FDA under sections 510(k), 513, 515, or 564. The law directly affects healthcare AI developers, providers, and patients by establishing a regulatory framework for AI-driven drug prescriptions. Key provisions define AI as a "practitioner" for prescription purposes only when meeting these two federal and state requirements. This creates a clear pathway for AI to legally prescribe drugs within existing FDA and state oversight.
