Bill Synopsis: This bill aims to repeal sections 319F–3 and 319F–4 of the Public Health Service Act, effectively removing liability protections for pharmaceutical manufacturers and others under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act. The bill underscores the importance of restoring public trust and accountability during public health emergencies by ensuring citizens can seek redress for injuries or harm without the impediments previously granted by liability shields. It rescinds unobligated funds allocated for compensating individuals harmed by pandemic-related products and clarifies that its provisions do not limit the ability to seek legal remedies under existing federal or state laws.
