Summary
The Preventing Future Pandemics Act of 2022 (S. 4074) aims to reduce the risk of new diseases spreading from animals to humans by targeting the international commercial wildlife trade. The bill directs U.S. agencies to work with foreign governments to close "wet markets" that sell live wildlife for human consumption and to provide job training for workers transitioning out of that industry. For citizens, this legislation is designed to enhance global health security and lower the likelihood of future pandemics by addressing their environmental and commercial origins abroad.
