Bill Summary
A BILL To direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in collaboration with the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and in coordination with the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security, to establish a program of entering into partnerships with eligible domestic manufacturers to ensure the availability of qualified personal protective equipment to prepare for and respond to national health or other emergencies, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive domestic manufacturing partnership program aimed at ensuring the availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) for public health emergencies. The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create partnerships with domestic manufacturers who meet specific criteria, including being headquartered in the continental United States, being majority owned by U.S. citizens, and gradually increasing their domestic manufacturing percentage (50% in 2026, rising to 100% by 2028). The program will involve contractual purchasing agreements that guarantee the availability of PPE supplies during public health emergencies. Manufacturers must meet quality guidelines from the CDC and OSHA and have their products cleared by the FDA. The bill also prohibits federal agencies from using funds to procure infectious disease prevention clothing or equipment manufactured outside the United States, with some exceptions. Additionally, the bill mandates a report to Congress examining changes to PPE requirements and their impact on frontline workers' safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is to strengthen domestic supply chains, improve pandemic preparedness, and reduce reliance on international manufacturers for critical medical supplies.
