Latest action on H.R. 1525: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people seeking medication abortions, the providers who prescribe or dispense abortion drugs, and the federal agencies that oversee drug safety and public health emergencies. It also affects states because they would have to send specific abortion data before federal officials could loosen abortion-drug safety rules.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it would change both abortion access and federal emergency power. Patients could have fewer ways to get abortion pills, especially if they rely on telehealth or mail delivery. Federal health officials would also lose one emergency tool for abortion-related situations. The reporting rule could keep abortion-drug safety rules frozen until every state sends the required data.

Key provisions in H.R. 1525

• The Health and Human Services Secretary could not use or declare a public health emergency for abortion-related issues. This applies to the Public Health Service Act emergency powers named in the bill.
• Any abortion-related public health emergency already in effect would end right away. The cutoff date is the day the bill becomes law.
• Health and Human Services, the Food and Drug Administration, and other Health and Human Services officials could not relax abortion-drug safety rules by choosing not to enforce them. Those safety rules are called REMS, or Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies.
• Abortion drugs would have to be dispensed in person at a clinic, medical office, or hospital. A certified health care provider would have to give them out or supervise that step.
• Officials could not waive the in-person dispensing rule for abortion drugs. This ban applies under the REMS safety program that covers those drugs.
