House reauthorizes pandemic control program, without Trump's requested change

The House has reauthorized a bill intended to tackle pandemics and other threats to public safety, while leaving out a previously drafted change to emergency supplies that had the support of President Trump.

The final version of the legislation, passed through a voice vote, ultimately did not include a provision that would have moved a massive stockpile of drugs, vaccines, and medical supplies from the authority of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.
