Stockpiling Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Act
This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan within one year of enactment to ensure the military health system has a 180-day supply of essential medications during conflicts or supply disruptions. The plan must specifically address stockpiling these medications and reduce reliance on foreign sources for key medicine ingredients (active pharmaceutical ingredients). It directly affects the military health system by targeting vulnerabilities in medication supply chains. The bill mandates these specific actions but does not create new stockpiles or funding.
