To amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for the inclusion of a biological attribution strategy, and an early warning strategy and implementation plan, in the National Health Security Strategy, and for other purposes.

This bill updates the National Health Security Strategy to add two new parts: a plan to figure out the source and cause of dangerous outbreaks (“biological attribution”) and an early warning plan to spot health threats sooner. It tells the federal government to clearly map who does what, how decisions are made, and how to build stronger lab and field skills using new tools like diagnostics, gene sequencing, and safe sample collection. It also calls for setting assignments, milestones, and timelines to boost national capacity.

The early warning plan aims to find new threats quickly, track ongoing problems, and adapt tools for chemical and radiological dangers, including synthetic drugs like fentanyl. It looks for signals in many places, such as wastewater, airports, and transportation hubs, and makes sure the country can rapidly scale up detection during a public health event. The plan must be developed with input from state and local health departments, private and academic partners, and federal leaders, with a focus on coordinating efforts and avoiding waste and duplication. There are also regular meetings with national intelligence officials to address foreign and cross‑border threats.

• Who is affected: Federal health and security agencies; state and local public health; private labs and universities; communities that benefit from faster detection and response.
• What changes: Adds a biological source‑tracing strategy and an early warning plan; clarifies agency roles and decision steps; invests in new technologies and sets milestones and timelines to build capacity.
• When: These strategies become part of the National Health Security Strategy; the text calls for assignments, milestones, and timelines but does not list specific dates.
