HR 1980 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
State Strategic Stockpile Act of 2025
To reauthorize and make improvements to the State medical stockpile pilot program administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response through fiscal year 2030.
Summary
This bill would reauthorize the state medical stockpile pilot program, administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, through fiscal year 2030, extending the current authorization. The bill adds a requirement for entities receiving funding to facilitate the sharing of best practices among states participating in stockpile consortia and to coordinate with appropriate healthcare entities, health officials, and emergency management officials. The bill clarifies that the program may support regional stockpiling approaches in addition to state-level efforts. The bill amends GAO reporting requirements to include an assessment of the impact of regional stockpiling approaches under the program. These changes are intended to improve coordination and effectiveness of state and regional medical stockpile programs for emergency preparedness.
