Made in America: Preparation for a Pandemic Act of 2020

This bill establishes a pandemic preparation tax credit and a requirement to maintain in the Strategic National Stockpile a specified amount of personal protective equipment (PPE).

The bill requires that at least 25% of the PPE in the stockpile be produced domestically, with exceptions.
