The State Strategic Stockpile Act of 2025 reauthorizes the federal pilot program that helps states build and maintain medical stockpiles, extending its funding and authority through fiscal year 2030. It adds provisions to encourage states (or regions) to share best practices, coordinate with local health and emergency officials, and expands reporting requirements to assess the impact of regional stockpiling efforts. The changes aim to improve preparedness and ensure effective use of federal resources for medical emergencies.

Requires award recipients to coordinate with local health care providers, health officials, and emergency‑management officials when implementing the stockpile activities.
Expands language to cover "state or regional" efforts rather than just state efforts.
Updates the reporting period for the program’s funding to cover fiscal years 2026‑2030.
Amends the PREVENT Pandemics Act to require the Government Accountability Office to report on the impact of any regional stockpiling approaches under the pilot program.
