State Strategic Stockpile Act of 2023 This bill reauthorizes through FY2028 a pilot program that provides support to states, or consortia of states, to establish, expand, or maintain stockpiles of drugs, vaccines, and other medical supplies necessary to respond to a declared public health emergency.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill becomes law, state governments would be able to build up their own reserves of critical medical supplies. This could help ensure that states have the resources they need to quickly respond to future disease outbreaks or other public health crises in their local communities. Residents of states that choose to participate in the program would benefit from having their state better prepared to handle emergencies.
