Dietary Supplement Regulatory Uniformity Act
Sponsored By: Representative Langworthy, Nicholas A. [R-NY-23]
Introduced
Summary
Federal preemption of state dietary supplement requirements would be the core change. The bill would bar states and localities from imposing requirements that differ from, add to, or are not identical with federal dietary supplement rules and would add new subsections to Section 403A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Show full summary
- Manufacturers and national brands would face a single federal standard instead of differing state rules, simplifying compliance across states.
- State and local governments would be prohibited from keeping or creating dietary supplement rules that are not identical to federal rules. They could apply to the Secretary for an exemption, which must be granted by regulation after notice and a hearing if the state shows the rule is more stringent or addresses a compelling local condition and does not make the product noncompliant with federal law.
- Retailers and distributors would likely see fewer conflicting state requirements to track, reducing regulatory complexity for interstate sales.

One federal standard for supplements
If enacted, this bill would bar states and local governments from having different dietary supplement rules than federal law. Companies that make, sell, or ship supplements would follow federal rules instead of varying state rules. States could apply to the Health Secretary for an exemption. The Secretary would grant exemptions by regulation after notice and a hearing. Grounds for exemption would include more-stringent state rules or rules that address a compelling local condition and do not render the supplement out of compliance with federal law.
