Bill > HR2118

This bill, the Securing America From Epidemics Act, authorizes United States participation in the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). CEPI is a global initiative that aims to stimulate, finance, and coordinate the development of vaccines for high-priority, epidemic-potential threats, especially in cases where traditional markets do not exist or cannot create sufficient demand. The bill designates a U.S. representative to serve on CEPI's Investors Council and potentially its Board of Directors, and requires the President to report to Congress on the U.S. planned contributions to CEPI and how participation supports relevant U.S. government strategies and programs in health security and biodefense. The bill authorizes the use of funds from the Foreign Assistance Act for U.S. contributions to CEPI.
