To amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for the inclusion of a biological attribution strategy, and an early warning strategy and implementation plan, in the National Health Security Strategy, and for other purposes.
This bill requires federal health agencies to develop two new strategies within the National Health Security Strategy. First, a "biological attribution strategy" to clarify which agencies handle identifying the source of biological threats (like disease outbreaks) and how they coordinate, including using new technologies for detection. Second, an "early warning strategy" focused on rapidly spotting emerging health threats (biological, chemical, or radiological) through tools like wastewater testing and airport screenings, while avoiding duplicated efforts. It mandates coordination with state health departments, private labs, and intelligence agencies to streamline response capabilities. The bill directly affects federal agencies (like CDC and National Intelligence) and their coordination with state/local partners, without creating new funding or altering existing laws.
