This bill expands the required components of the National Health Security Strategy (a coordinated strategy among federal, state, and local entities to address public health emergencies).

Specifically, the National Health Security Strategy must address (1) coordination of federal efforts related to biological attribution (i.e., determining the source of biological hazards and pathogens of pandemic potential); and (2) early warning of emerging biological, chemical, and radiological threats, including synthetic drugs and fentanyl.
