Section 5 amends 21 U.S.C. 379j-62(c)(1)(A)(i) by striking "$15,000" and inserting "a base amount deemed appropriate by the Secretary to fund activities to ensure the safety of compounded drug products." Section 4 also requires pre-compounding inspections and at least biennial reinspections for large-scale outsourcing facilities.

The introduced bill contains the promised fee increase and ties it to FDA oversight and inspections, but it is still only introduced legislation rather than enacted law.

S. 3794 Introduced in Senate (IS) - Safeguarding Americans from Fraudulent and Experimental Drugs Act of 2026
secondary · model gpt-5.4-mini · confidence 96%

The Senate office’s legislation page still lists S.3794 with the latest action as "Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions."

As of the latest official Senate office listing, the bill has not advanced beyond committee referral, so the promise remains unresolved as a policy outcome.
