S 2754 United States Senate · 118th Congress

HHS COVID–19 Origin Transparency Act of 2023

This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to publish all HHS records related to the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic within 90 days of enactment, including research data, communications with Chinese institutions, and records about collaborations like those with EcoHealth Alliance. It mandates disclosure of specific documents such as unpublished studies, grant applications, and records of potential misconduct, with limited exceptions for classified or sensitive information. Failure to comply would trigger daily rescissions of $1 million from HHS funds, deposited into the national debt reduction fund. The bill directly affects the Department of Health and Human Services, requiring it to make these records publicly available for transparency.
