This bill establishes a statewide Pandemic Preparation and Response Task Force to conduct a comprehensive after-action review of Washington's COVID-19 pandemic response and recovery. The task force will be composed of various state agency representatives, lawmakers, and other stakeholders. It will identify lessons learned, implement corrective actions, and devise new strategies for preparing for future outbreaks. The task force's findings and recommendations will be reported to the governor and legislature by July 2022 and July 2023 to inform pandemic preparedness and response at all levels of government.
