Bill overview
The PREPARE Act establishes a Strategic Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Reserve to bolster the domestic supply of essential generic medicines. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will create a public list of these medicines and develop a plan for the reserve, aiming to minimize disruptions from import issues. The bill also promotes domestic API production, strengthens supply chain resilience, and includes provisions for prioritizing domestically manufactured ingredients. Finally, it streamlines the approval process for drug manufacturers switching to APIs from the reserve.
