Biodefense Diplomacy Enhancement Act

This bill directs the Secretary of State to work with U.S. allies and partners on biodefense, biosecurity, and biotechnology. It tells the State Department to push for more biodefense planning and policy within NATO, including possible changes to NATO's chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense policy. It also directs cooperation with allies on export controls for biotechnology items that could be used to make bioweapons, and on enforcing the Biological Weapons Convention. The State Department must write two strategies and report them to Congress within 270 days, and must give Congress a briefing within 90 days.
