New Power For Secretary of Health

8/29/03 Update on Emergency Health Power in the event of a national bioterror threat.

As formerly reported on this website
HHS Secretary of Health Tommy Thompson was urging State Legislatures to adopt the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act.

This Act would grant unprecedented powers to the Governor to quarantine and vaccinate individuals; and allow government authorities to commandeer such items as drugs, firearms and private property.

For more information on this model Emergency Health Powers Act see www.aapsonline.com and/or a copy can be downloaded from www.publichealthlaw.net

It now appears that the Patriot Acts will make State decisions irrelevent in the event of a bioterror disater. The Secretary of health could be empowered to take control of the nation in such matters which were formerly under State Jurisdiction.

Copies of the Patriot Acts can be found through www.google.com
