What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Dietary Supplement Regulatory Uniformity Act," aims to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It seeks to clarify and affirm the preemptive authority of the Food and Drug Administration regarding dietary supplement regulation. Under this proposal, states and their political subdivisions would be prohibited from creating requirements for dietary supplements that differ from or add to federal requirements. However, the Secretary may grant exemptions for certain state requirements under specific conditions. These conditions include requirements that are more stringent than federal law or address compelling local conditions without violating federal law.
