What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill allows more prescription drugs to be imported into the United States from more countries. Currently, only certain drugs can be imported from Canada with government approval. The bill requires the government to allow imports from the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and European Union countries, and after one year, possibly other countries if imports are conducted safely. The bill expands which drugs can be imported to include biologics like insulin, and allows individuals to use foreign pharmacies to fill U.S. prescriptions for personal use instead of needing special government permission. It also sets up rules for certifying foreign sellers, labeling imported drugs, and preventing discrimination against foreign sellers by drug manufacturers.
