What this bill would do

The "Protecting American Families and Servicemembers from Anthrax Act" aims to create a modernized strategy to defend the United States against anthrax threats. This includes a 10-year plan for sustained stockpiling of anthrax countermeasures. These stockpiles are to be maintained within the Strategic National Stockpile and by the Secretary of Defense. The strategy also focuses on the protection of civilians, servicemembers, and dependents on military installations. Additionally, the bill requires specific reporting on threats and government programs to appropriate congressional committees.
