S. 5671 — State Strategic Stockpile Act of 2026

This section extends the pilot program to support state medical stockpiles through FY2028 (from FY2024) and FY2029 (from FY2025). It permits regional efforts in addition to state efforts, requires award recipients to coordinate with health care entities, health officials, and emergency management officials, and to identify opportunities to share best practices with other states. It authorizes such sums as may be necessary for the program for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2031 (from $3.5 billion for each of fiscal years 2023 and 2024). It also requires the Government Accountability Office to report on the impact of any regional stockpiling approaches.
