SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Dietary Supplement Regulatory 
Implementation Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Over 158,000,000 Americans regularly consume dietary 
        supplements to maintain and improve their health.
            (2) Consumer expenditures on dietary supplements reached a 
        reported $20,500,000,000 in 2004, more than double the amount 
        spent in 1994.
            (3) According to a recent report issued by the Food and 
        Drug Administration (``FDA'') the use of dietary supplements is 
        likely to grow due to factors such as the aging of the baby 
        boom generation, increased interest in self-sufficiency, and 
        advances in science that are uncovering new relationships 
        between diet and disease.
            (4) In 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education 
        Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-417) (``DSHEA'') was enacted. That 
        Act balanced continued consumer access to vitamins, minerals, 
        and other dietary supplements, increased scientific research on 
        the benefits and risks of dietary supplements, public education 
        on dietary supplements, and needed consumer protections.
            (5) DSHEA requires that claims made on dietary supplement 
        labels, packaging, and accompanying material be truthful, non-
        misleading, and substantiated. Manufacturers are prohibited 
        from making claims that products are intended to diagnose, 
        treat, mitigate, cure, or prevent a disease.
            (6) DSHEA provides for good manufacturing practice 
        standards setting requirements for potency, purity, sanitary 
        conditions, and recordkeeping for dietary supplements.
            (7) DSHEA provides that dietary supplements are to be 
        regulated like foods and not drugs or food additives.
            (8) DSHEA requires that manufacturers submit adequate 
        information as to the safety of any new ingredients contained 
        in dietary supplements before those products can be sold.
            (9) DSHEA provides the FDA with a number of powers to 
        remove unsafe dietary supplements from the marketplace.
            (10) DSHEA created the Office of Dietary Supplements within 
        the National Institutes of Health to expand research and 
        consumer information about the health effects of dietary 
        supplements.
            (11) The FDA has not adequately used its authority to 
        enforce DSHEA.
            (12) The FDA needs adequate resources to appropriately 
        implement and enforce DSHEA. Congress has appropriated 
        additional funds over the last several years beyond those 
        requested in the President's budget to implement and enforce 
        DSHEA, reaching $10,800,000 in fiscal year 2005.
            (13) However, according to the FDA, full implementation of 
        DSHEA would require substantial additional resources. The FDA 
        asserts that between $24,000,000 and $65,000,000 per year will 
        be needed to fully implement DSHEA.

SEC. 5. DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS CONTAINING EPHEDRINE ALKALOIDS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) dietary supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids may 
        present a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or 
        injury; and
            (2) through section 402(f) of the Federal Food, Drug, and

        the authority to remove from the market dietary supplements 
        that present such a risk.
    (b) Sense of Congress Regarding Risk of Illness or Injury.--It is 
the sense of the Congress that, in the event the Secretary determines 
under section 402(f) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that a 
dietary supplement containing ephedrine alkaloids presents a 
significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury--
            (1) all dietary supplements containing such alkaloids 
        should be declared to be adulterated in accordance with such

        chemically altered to increase their ephedrine alkaloid 
        concentration or content;
