Key Points

This bill requires a federal committee to practice how they would handle a national emergency. Every five years, the group must run a simulation to see if they have the right plans to quickly produce essential goods like medical supplies or military gear.
Green introduced this to update a law that lets the government order companies to prioritize making items for national security. These new practice sessions help officials find and fix problems in the supply chain before a real crisis occurs.
By talking through different emergency scenarios, leaders can decide the best way to use their authority. This ensures the country is prepared to get the resources it needs during a disaster or a war without wasting time or money.
