↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 90%
Imposes new federal conditions on REMS-certified providers (in-person visit and in-state medical license) to prescribe or dispense abortion drugs, with loss of certification for violations, so tighter regulation of medication abortion providers.
Any REMS-certified provider that knowingly prescribes, dispenses, or administers mifepristone or any other abortion drug to a patient residing in a State where the provider does not have a medical license shall lose REMS-certified status, with respect to such drug, for a period of not less than 2 years.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses abortion by adding federal restrictions on medication abortion (mifepristone and other abortion drugs) via mandatory in-person visits and state-specific medical licensure for REMS-certified providers, plus annual reporting of violations; these provisions limit access and increase provider regulation without expanding access, adding exceptions, or addressing other topics.
