PACCARB Act
The PACCARB Act establishes a Presidential Advisory Council to advise the Secretary of Health and Human Services on federal efforts to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The council must meet at least twice yearly, coordinate with the existing antimicrobial resistance task force, and provide recommendations on improving detection, diagnostics, research, and international collaboration. It requires the council to help develop a comprehensive 5-year action plan by October 2025 (and every 5 years after), detailing measurable outcomes for federal programs addressing antimicrobial resistance. The bill directly affects federal health agencies and programs managing antibiotic resistance, focusing on concrete policy mechanisms rather than outcomes.
