Lets people sue drug makers for harm from emergency medical products.

This bill would end special legal protections for companies that make and distribute certain medical products during public health emergencies. It would allow individuals who believe they were harmed by these products to take legal action. This changes current law that shields these companies from lawsuits.

What Would Change

Today, companies making and distributing emergency medical products have special legal protection from lawsuits, and a fund exists to handle some claims. This bill would remove those legal protections, allowing individuals to sue these companies for harm. It would also close the fund by taking back any unspent money.

Key Provisions

Ends special legal protection for companies making emergency medical products.
Lets people sue for harm from emergency drugs, devices, or biological products.
Applies to current lawsuits and any new lawsuits filed after the bill becomes law.
Closes the Covered Countermeasure Process Fund and takes back any unspent money.
