Bill overview
The Prepare Act of 2024 establishes a Strategic Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Reserve to ensure a domestic supply of essential generic medicines. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will create and maintain this reserve, listing essential medicines and developing a plan to minimize disruptions in the supply chain. The bill also aims to strengthen domestic API production capacity, potentially streamlining approval processes for drug manufacturers switching to ingredients from the reserve and requires a GAO report on domestic manufacturing capabilities.
