Enhances access to public health emergency supplies and services.
This bill creates a state-managed stockpile of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other emergency supplies to improve access during public health emergencies. The State Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will maintain the stockpile, ensuring it meets state needs, and provide free PPE to public schools, state hospitals, and nursing homes during emergencies. Remaining supplies will be sold at market price to other entities, while an online portal will allow donations of emergency supplies like test kits and linens. The bill also requires OEM to streamline procurement processes by centralizing ordering, reducing administrative burdens, and developing a pre-established emergency contract repository.
