Contact Congress about H.R. 1980: State Strategic Stockpile Act of 2025

States could keep getting federal support to store medical supplies for emergencies through 2030. States or regions would need to plan with health and emergency officials, share useful practices, and face a GAO review of regional stockpiles.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

State Strategic Stockpile Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Latest action on H.R. 1980: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects states and groups of states that want federal help for emergency medical stockpiles. It also affects health care groups, health officials, and emergency managers because states would need to include them in planning. People may feel the effects during emergencies if these stockpiles help supplies reach the right places faster.

Why this matters: Emergency medical supplies can run short when a crisis hits, and this bill would keep federal help in place for state and regional stockpiles. It could help states prepare for pandemics, natural disasters, and other events that disrupt supply chains. The bill may also make stockpiles more useful by requiring planning with people who understand local health needs. The real impact would depend on how much money Congress provides and how states run the program.

Key provisions in H.R. 1980

  • Keeps the state medical stockpile pilot program running for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
  • States or regions that get awards must plan with the right health care groups, health officials, and emergency managers.
  • The program would help groups of states share what works when they build and maintain medical supply stockpiles.
  • The program could support both state stockpiles and regional stockpiles. It would not be limited to one state at a time.
  • GAO must review how regional stockpiles under the pilot program are working. GAO is Congress's watchdog agency.
