Public Health Emergency Medical Supplies Enhancement Act of 2023

This bill amends the Defense Production Act to improve federal coordination of medical supplies during public health emergencies. It allows the President to prioritize federal medical supply orders over state/local requests (with 24-hour notification to affected governments), creates a new governmentwide Outreach Representative to engage manufacturers, and requires regular congressional reports on how these authorities are used. The law directly affects state, local, and Tribal governments ordering medical equipment, as well as private manufacturers of critical supplies. It modifies existing DPA authorities without creating new funding, focusing on streamlining emergency response through clearer protocols and transparency.
