Masks for All Act of 2022 2022-01-12 Introduced in House Masks for All Act of 2022

This bill directs the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to manufacture and distribute N-95 respirator masks to every individual in the United States and to provide N-95 masks to all individuals working in health care settings in the United States that are experiencing a shortage of such masks.

FEMA must provide the masks at no cost to individuals and deliver them, to the greatest extent possible, using the U.S. Postal Service.

Additionally, FEMA shall

  • designate mask pickup sites in each community and shall provide masks to each site, allocated according to population;
  • consider new designs for masks to improve comfort, fit, and size options; and
  • submit to Congress a strategic plan that includes monthly, measurable targets to eliminate shortages and increase domestic production of N-95 masks and to fulfill all other requirements of this bill.

The President shall make use of any and all available authorities (including emergency authorities) at the disposal of the federal government to procure and domestically manufacture N-95 masks and support the domestic manufacturing of N-95 masks.
