Overview
This bill establishes a statewide stockpile of medicine and medical supplies in New Jersey to prepare for emergencies and drug shortages. The Department of Health, in collaboration with the State Office of Emergency Management, will manage this stockpile, including establishing guidelines for procurement, distribution, and prioritizing resources to vulnerable populations. The bill also authorizes an appropriation to fund the establishment and operation of this stockpile, potentially utilizing a ‘virtually sequestered buffer stock’ managed by a private vendor.
