Bill > S3538

This bill, the Strengthening America's Supply Chain and National Security Act, aims to address the Department of Defense's (DoD) reliance on pharmaceutical products made in part or in whole in certain countries, primarily China. The bill requires the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to submit a classified report to Congress analyzing the DoD's use of these pharmaceutical products, assessing the risks and impacts, and providing recommendations to diversify the supply chain and reduce dependency on foreign manufacturers, particularly those from countries that are competitors or politically unstable. Additionally, the bill modifies the rules of origin for pharmaceutical products under the Trade Agreements Act and establishes new postmarket reporting requirements for pharmaceutical companies to disclose the sources and percentages of active and inactive ingredients used in their drugs.
