2020 House Bill 5747

Coronavirus epidemic response bills – stockpile for the future

Introduced in the House

April 30, 2020

Introduced by Rep. John Cherry (D-49)

To appropriate $100 for the “strategic preparedness fund” House Bill 5746 would authorize for the State Police to maintain a “a stockpile of materials and supplies that will be necessary to respond to a disaster or emergency.” The $100 is a “placeholder” amount that likely would be replaced by real money if the two bills advance.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
