As fears about the spread of the novel coronavirus continue to grow, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., plans to introduce legislation on Thursday aimed at securing America's medical supply chain.
Hawley's office provided Fox News with a copy of the bill, entitled "The Medical Supply Chain Security Act," along with an outline of its contents.
The proposal's main function would be to amend the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to have the words "or device" listed, to allow the Food and Drug Administration to monitor medical device shortages with greater accuracy and efficiency.
