To amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for the inclusion of a biological attribution strategy, and an early warning strategy and implementation plan, in the National Health Security Strategy, and for other purposes.

This bill would amend the Public Health Service Act to create two new strategic elements within the National Health Security Strategy: (1) a Biological Attribution Strategy and (2) an Early Warning Strategy and Implementation Plan. The Biological Attribution Strategy would define federal agency roles, processes, milestones, and technologies for identifying the source or origin of biological hazards and pathogens with pandemic potential, including coordination among agencies such as the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The Early Warning Strategy would establish a plan to detect biological, chemical, and radiological threats early, utilizing advanced diagnostics, sequencing, and broad-sourced surveillance (e.g., wastewater, airports, transportation hubs), with goals to rapidly deploy technologies and coordinate across federal, state, local, private sector, and academic partners. The bill emphasizes avoiding duplication of federal programs and enhancing cross-border threat awareness. In short, the proposal aims to strengthen federal capabilities for attributing the source of biological events and to build a more robust, technologically driven early warning system for a range of threats, while promoting interagency coordination and collaboration with non-federal partners.
