Equal Access to Medicines and Medical Supplies for States
This bill aims to ensure that state governments have equal access to key therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, and medical supplies needed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. This means the federal government will not be able to limit states' access to these resources or prioritize its own contracts over state contracts. Additionally, states will be able to use existing relief funds to purchase essential supplies they previously couldn't acquire due to federal priorities.
Key points
The federal government cannot limit state access to key therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies.
State orders for COVID-19 medical supplies cannot be overridden by federal orders.
States can use relief funds to purchase supplies previously unavailable due to federal prioritization.
