What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Tobacco TRACE Act," aims to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It seeks to change the current language regarding tobacco product labels. Specifically, it would require the Secretary to implement codes on tobacco product labels. These codes would serve the purpose of tracking or tracing products through the distribution system. The change shifts the requirement from the Secretary being able to act to a mandatory obligation.
