Guidance for Temporary Reassignment of State and Local Personnel During a Public Health Emergency

Zusammenfassung

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is accepting comments on proposed "Guidance for Temporary Reassignment of State and Local Personnel during a Public Health Emergency." Section 201 of the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013 (PAHPRA), Public Law 113-5, amends section 319 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act to provide the Secretary of HHS with discretion to authorize the temporary reassignment of state, tribal, and local personnel during a declared Federal public health emergency upon request by a state or tribal organization or their designee. This proposed guidance addresses that provision.
