Bill overview
This bill, the Destruction of Hazardous Imports Act, expands the ability of the Secretary of Health and Human Services to order the destruction of imported goods that pose a significant risk to public health. It amends existing law to include a broader range of articles, not just drugs and devices, that are refused admission and deemed to present a public health concern. The bill also prohibits the movement or introduction of these articles into commerce and requires the Secretary to issue regulations clarifying these new authorities. These changes will take effect 180 days after the bill’s passage.
