AI Summary

This bill, the Block, Report, And Suspend Suspicious Shipments Act of 2021, amends the Controlled Substances Act to clarify the process for registrants (businesses registered to handle controlled substances) to exercise due diligence when they discover a suspicious order. The key provisions require registrants to: (1) exercise due diligence, (2) maintain records of that due diligence, (3) decline to fill the suspicious order if the due diligence does not resolve the indicators of potential misuse, and (4) notify the Drug Enforcement Administration of the suspicious order and the underlying indicators. The Attorney General is also directed to promulgate regulations specifying the indicators that give rise to suspicion of potential misuse.
