Preparing for All Hazards and Pathogens Reauthorization Act

This bill reauthorizes public health preparedness programs through fiscal year 2028, extending funding for key initiatives like the Strategic National Stockpile and updating requirements for medical countermeasure development. It establishes a new PHEMCE Advisory Committee with specific membership requirements to provide input on medical countermeasures and creates a Diagnostic Testing Preparedness Plan for rapid development and distribution of diagnostic tools during emergencies. The bill also updates provisions for the National Disaster Medical System, Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps, and advisory committees focused on vulnerable populations during disasters. These changes affect federal agencies like HHS and coordinate with state, local, tribal, and territorial health departments to improve pandemic and public health emergency response capabilities.
