Restoring Safeguards for Dangerous Abortion Drugs Act
This bill requires the FDA to reinstate the 2011 safety program for mifepristone (the drug sold as Mifeprex) and bans its importation into the U.S. It creates federal liability for harm caused by illegal importers of the drug, allowing lawsuits for bodily injury or mental health harm resulting from unauthorized importation. The law applies specifically to telehealth providers, pharmacies, or others who knowingly import mifepristone across state lines. It takes effect 90 days after enactment.
