Bill Summary
Stop Illicit Drug Importation Act of 2018
AI Summary
This bill, the Stop Illicit Drug Importation Act of 2018, amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services to treat certain imported articles as drugs, even if they are not formally designated as such. It also expands the conditions under which the government can refuse admission of imported articles, including if they are determined to be "articles of concern" due to potential safety risks. Additionally, the bill modifies the seizure process for these articles and allows for debarment of individuals or companies that have engaged in a pattern of importing or offering to import adulterated, misbranded, or unapproved drugs, or controlled substances.
