Senate Bill 437 amends the Health and Safety Code to require the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to establish the Personal Protective Equipment Reserve Advisory Committee composed of various health care and essential personnel representatives to make recommendations to TDEM regarding the procurements needed for a statewide reserve and the storage and distribution of personal protective equipment. Implementation of a provision of this bill by TDEM is mandatory only if a specific appropriation is made for that purpose.
