Bill Summary
A BILL To substantially restrict the use of animal testing for cosmetics, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill aims to substantially restrict animal testing for cosmetics in the United States by making it unlawful to conduct, contract for, sell, or transport cosmetic products developed through animal testing starting one year after the bill's enactment. The legislation prohibits using evidence from animal testing to establish cosmetic safety, with limited exemptions such as testing required by foreign regulatory authorities or when no non-animal alternative method exists and there are potential significant health risks. Manufacturers could face civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each violation, with each animal tested and each day of violation potentially constituting a separate offense. The bill allows exemptions for animal testing conducted for non-cosmetic purposes or when specifically requested by the Secretary of Health and Human Services after a rigorous review process that includes public comment. It also preempts state laws on cosmetic animal testing, ensuring a uniform national standard, and provides detailed definitions of terms like "cosmetic" and "cosmetic animal testing." The goal is to promote more humane product development practices while maintaining rigorous safety standards for cosmetic products.
