SUPPLIES Act

This bill would require the Secretary of State and the head of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to set procedures, within 60 days of the law taking effect, for handling leftover unused supplies or goods when a foreign assistance project or program ends or is completed. The procedures would have to prioritize making sure these supplies are not diverted, destroyed, or allowed to expire without being used. Each agency would have to post its procedures on its public website. The bill defines covered goods to include items such as medicine, vaccines, medical devices, and food held by the U.S. government or its partners for foreign assistance.
