The American Medicine Safety and Security Act restricts employment and work arrangements at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to address national security concerns. The bill prohibits hiring nationals from China, Russia, or Iran at the FDA and requires current and future FDA employees to report if they have immediate family members (parents, siblings, or children) who are nationals of these countries, with failure to report resulting in immediate termination. Additionally, all FDA employees must agree to a 10-year post-employment restriction preventing them from working for any company or organization based in these three countries. The legislation also limits access to sensitive drug and device information for FDA employees or contractors who have family members from these countries or who previously worked for foreign entities in these nations. The restrictions take effect upon enactment, with existing employees required to accept these conditions as a requirement to keep their jobs.
