## Summary

**This bill would create a rolling reserve program to build six‑month domestic reserves of critical drugs and their active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to shore up vulnerable supply chains and prevent shortages during emergencies.** It authorizes contracts and awards to eligible manufacturers and partners to hold, replenish, and, when needed, transfer those reserves under HHS direction. - Manufacturers and distributors would have to maintain a six‑month reserve of APIs and finished drug products at registered domestic or OECD facilities and replenish those stocks with recently manufactured material. They must also agree to produce drugs or transfer API to other makers if supply gaps arise. - Patients and health systems would gain a steadier supply of drugs judged critical for public health emergencies or at‑risk populations, reducing the chance that shortages interrupt care. The bill targets drugs with “vulnerable supply chains.” - Federal preparedness and domestic manufacturing would get new tools. HHS must publish the list of covered drugs, issue guidance within 180 days, prefer domestic sourcing when awarding contracts, and may fund construction or renovation to boost surge capacity. *If enacted, it would authorize $500 million for FY2026 to carry out the program, increasing federal spending.*
