I will support funding to create state biodefense supply repositories and state-based blockchain nodes for tracking Strategic National Stockpile readiness.

H.R. 6607 will also provide funding to create state repositories and to establish state-based blockchain nodes for tracking purposes.

Lynch's bill would fund state repositories and blockchain tracking nodes for biodefense supplies.

Congress.gov records H.R.1968 as Public Law 119-4. The summary says it continued FY2025 appropriations and generally funded most programs at FY2024 levels.

The later FY2025 continuing appropriations law maintained many FY2024 funding levels, but the Congress.gov record does not show creation of state biodefense repositories or blockchain readiness nodes.
