What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Strengthening and Improving Mobilization Act of 2026," aims to amend the Defense Production Act of 1950. It requires the Defense Production Act Committee to perform discussion-based simulations, often called "table-top exercises." These simulations must occur at least once every five years. The goal of these exercises is to figure out necessary resources and the most effective use of specific authorities. Additionally, the bill includes a technical correction regarding the short title of the Defense Production Act of 1950.
