AI Summary

This bill, the Better Options for Drug Disposal Systems To Reduce Diversion Act of 2021 (also known as the Better ODDS To Reduce Diversion Act of 2021), aims to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to modify the requirements for safe disposal packaging and safe disposal systems for certain drugs. Specifically, it removes the requirement that packaging and disposal systems must render drugs "non-retrievable," which is a technical term referring to a specific method of drug disposal. This change provides more flexibility in the types of packaging and disposal systems that can be used to safely dispose of drugs and reduce the risk of diversion.
