An Act to strengthen the Commonwealth's strategic preparedness stockpiles

This bill establishes a permanent emergency stockpile of essential supplies, such as personal protective equipment and medications, to be used during public health emergencies. It requires the state Department of Public Health to work with agencies like MEMA to plan for three specific groups: healthcare settings, educational institutions, and the general public. The legislation mandates regular reporting on stockpile levels and funding, along with biennial reviews to update supply models and ensure the resources remain effective and up-to-date.
