Restoring Safeguards for Dangerous Abortion Drugs Act is a House bill in committee.

Latest action on H.R. 5646: Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who use mifepristone, the clinicians who prescribe it, and the pharmacies or suppliers that provide it. It could matter most where people rely on telehealth or mailed drugs. It also affects federal health officials because it limits how they can update mifepristone safety rules. International suppliers and people who receive mifepristone from outside the United States would face a direct import ban.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could change where and how people get mifepristone. It would replace the current safety rules with the June 2011 rules and stop federal health officials from updating them. It could also make telehealth providers, pharmacies, and shippers more cautious because some people could sue over unlawful shipments. The import ban could cut off mail or overseas sources of the drug, but the full effect would depend on enforcement and court rulings.
