State Strategic Stockpile Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Carter, Earl L. "Buddy" [R-GA-1]

Introduced

Summary

Expands federal support for state and regional medical stockpiles. This bill would reauthorize and broaden a pilot program to help states and multi‑state consortia buy, store, and share medical products for emergencies, and it strengthens coordination and oversight through 2030.

Show full summary
  • States and regional consortia: Would allow states or multi‑state groups to receive federal awards to establish or maintain medical stockpiles and to share best practices across jurisdictions. The statute’s scope changes from “state efforts” to “state or regional efforts,” enabling shared inventories.
  • Health care providers and emergency officials: Makes coordination a condition of awards, requiring recipients to work with hospitals, public health officials, and emergency management officials to improve logistics and local response. It also formalizes best‑practice sharing among funded consortia.
  • Oversight and timing: Extends the program’s funding window through fiscal year 2030 and adds a Government Accountability Office review to assess how regional stockpiles affect program effectiveness and coordination. The bill also aligns language with the Public Health Service Act and the PREVENT Pandemics Act to standardize reporting and oversight.

Longer funding and regional stockpile support

This bill would extend the state medical stockpile pilot for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. It would also update certain program dates to 2025 and 2026. Grants could support regional stockpiles, not just single-state efforts. Funded groups could use money to share best practices with other states. These changes would start upon enactment.

New coordination and oversight for stockpiles

Award recipients would need to coordinate with local health care, health officials, and emergency managers. This would apply within the State or States covered by the award. The Government Accountability Office would study regional stockpiling impacts on effectiveness and coordination. These oversight and coordination rules would take effect upon enactment.
