What this bill would do

The "Freedom to Heal Act of 2025" aims to create a special registration process under the Controlled Substances Act. This process is designed for physicians who want to directly administer schedule I eligible investigational drugs to patients under the Federal Right to Try law. The bill requires the Attorney General to register these physicians after they submit specific evidence and documentation. It establishes requirements for applications, including proof of valid registration for other substances and agreements with manufacturers. The act also outlines how physicians can request additional drug amounts and how multiple treatment sites can be handled. Finally, it mandates that the Attorney General issue interim and final rules to implement these controls.
