Protects the prescribing, dispensing, or receipt of mifepristone or other medication abortion drugs from being treated as criminal diversion, adulterated, or misbranded under state law even if no longer FDA-approved or bearing current labeling, so more legal access to medication abortion.
The prescribing, dispensing, or receipt of brand name or generic mifepristone or any drug used for medication abortion shall not be considered a criminal diversion act for purposes of this definition solely because it is no longer approved by the federal food and drug administration or because it no longer bears the label currently in effect, provided that: (i) its labeling was true and accurate at the time of manufacture; and (ii) the drug is recommended for the purpose for which it was prescribed under World Health Organization guidelines that are current at the time of prescribing or_disp.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends state penal and education laws to shield mifepristone and other medication abortion drugs from certain criminal and regulatory restrictions tied to FDA approval or labeling status, provided labeling was accurate at manufacture and use follows current WHO guidelines. This expands legal access to medication abortion by protecting its prescribing, dispensing, and receipt from being treated as diversion, adulteration, or misbranding. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
