PHEMCE Advisory Committee Act of 2023

HR 4419 establishes the PHEMCE Advisory Committee to advise federal agencies managing medical countermeasures for public health emergencies. The committee, composed of 9-11 external experts (including specialists in medical supply development, stockpiling, and emergency response), provides input on strategic planning and decision-making for medical countermeasures. It requires the committee to meet at least four times yearly, hold public meetings with 30 days' notice, and submit minutes to Congress within 60 days. The bill directly affects federal agencies like the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority and the Strategic National Stockpile, enhancing transparency in their emergency preparedness efforts.
