in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Starting in fiscal year 2023, the Office of Management and Budget's Director, working with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, must each year analyze federal biodefense programs and build one combined biodefense budget. The Director must also create a single shared definition of "biodefense" so agencies agree on what counts. The analysis must show all biodefense funding by agency and category, explain how each program fits the National Biodefense Strategy, and go to Congress alongside the President's budget request.

(a) Annual analysis. Starting in fiscal year 2023, for each fiscal year, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, working with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, must: (1) do a detailed, comprehensive analysis of federal biodefense programs; and (2) build one combined biodefense budget submission. (b) Definition of biodefense. Following the National Biodefense Strategy, the Director must create and share with all federal departments and agencies one unified definition of "biodefense," so everyone knows which programs and activities belong in the annual budget submission required by subsection (a). (c) What the analysis must cover. It must include: (1) showing all money requested for biodefense — both mandatory and discretionary spending — broken down by agency and by category, such as threat awareness, prevention, deterrence, preparedness, surveillance and detection, response, attribution (including bioforensics), recovery, and mitigation; and (2) detailed explanations of how each program lines up with the goals of the National Biodefense Strategy required under section 104. (d) Sending it to Congress. The Director, working with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, must send this analysis to Congress at the same time as the President's yearly budget request.
