Bill Summary

A BILL To repeal the authority of the Food and Drug Administration to require that drugs be dispensed only upon prescription, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Prescription Freedom Act of 2023, aims to repeal the authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to require that drugs be dispensed only upon prescription. Specifically, the bill would effectively eliminate the FDA's prescription drug authority, with the exception of drugs intended for use in terminating a pregnancy, which the Secretary of Health and Human Services could still regulate. Under this bill, any references to prescriptions, prescription drugs, or related requirements in federal law would instead be governed by applicable state laws. This change would give individuals more freedom in accessing and obtaining certain drugs without the need for a prescription from a healthcare provider.
