Improving Development and Distribution of Diagnostic Tests Act

This bill requires the Health Secretary to create and regularly update a strategic framework for rapidly developing, distributing, and scaling diagnostic tests during public health emergencies involving infectious diseases or threats like bioterrorism. The framework must address domestic testing capacity, new technologies (like point-of-care tests), medical supply needs, and efficient distribution strategies, and be updated every three years. It mandates coordination with states, tribes, local governments, and industry to build domestic testing capacity through public-private partnerships. The law directly affects federal health agencies, state/local health departments, and diagnostic test manufacturers by establishing new requirements for emergency preparedness.
