A bill to require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program under which the Secretary shall develop and implement a comprehensive wastewater surveillance system at certain installations of the Department of Defense, and for other purposes.

S 3162 requires the Secretary of Defense to create a two-year pilot program testing wastewater surveillance systems at four or more military installations. The program must establish separate systems to monitor use of certain controlled drugs (like opioids or stimulants) and track infectious diseases among service members. It mandates a uniform data system across the Department of Defense and requires a report to Congress after the pilot detailing findings, recommendations, and an assessment of how the system improves health and readiness. This affects military installations and personnel by using existing resources to gather health data through wastewater analysis, without changing current drug laws or adding new funding.
