This bill requires federal agencies to submit to Congress plans for responding to COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019).

Specifically, each agency shall submit (1) an initial report detailing an action plan, informed by research and best practices learned from the onset of COVID-19, previous pandemics, and health emergencies, for addressing the needs and mitigating and eliminating the risks and challenges associated with COVID-19 and the deployment of COVID-19 vaccines; and (2) subsequent reports, on a quarterly basis until the President ends the declared emergency, that update the details submitted in the plan.

The initial report shall include

  • agency priorities for preparing for and responding to the pandemic, including continuity of operations and fulfilling the agency's mission and priorities related to the deployment of COVID-19 vaccines;
  • measurable goals specific to priorities and a time line for addressing each priority;
  • anticipated challenges to addressing priorities and how the agency will address such challenges;
  • how the agency will consult with Congress, the public, state and municipal governments, and relevant stakeholders while working remotely;
  • how the agency plans to issue relevant guidance to entities under the jurisdiction of the agency; and
  • any resources the agency needs from Congress.
