                                 A BILL

 To express the Sense of Congress with respect to safety of medication
  abortion and Federal preemption of State restrictions on dispensing
              medication abortion, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING SAFETY OF MEDICATION ABORTION
              AND FEDERAL PREEMPTION OF STATE RESTRICTIONS ON
              DISPENSING MEDICATION ABORTION.

    It is the Sense of Congress that--
            (1) medication abortion is an extremely safe medical
        treatment that the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, based on
        scientific evidence, appropriately approved under the Federal
        Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.); and
            (2) such approval under such Act preempts any State law
        establishing, implementing, or enforcing--
                    (A) any requirement that medication abortion be
                dispensed by a health care practitioner in person; or
                    (B) any prohibition or restriction on prescribing
                or dispensing medication abortion by means of
                telehealth.
                                 <all>
