Bill > HR555

This bill, the Securing America's Vaccines for Emergencies (SAVE) Act of 2023, amends the Defense Production Act of 1950 to ensure the availability of medical materials essential to national defense, including drugs, devices, and biological products. The bill requires the President to develop a strategy to secure supply chains for these medical materials, analyze vulnerabilities, and take measures to diversify supply chains. It also authorizes the President to make payments to eligible entities to increase the security of supply chains and supply chain activities, if the payments are deemed critical to meet national defense requirements. The bill aims to strengthen domestic capability and address vulnerabilities in the supply chain for medical materials, while considering the importance of U.S. competitiveness, scientific leadership, and innovative capacity.
