Title: Act for Public Health: A New Framework for Legislation and Litigation Impacting Public Health Authority
Description: In the wake of COVID-19, there is considerable legal action on the powers of health agencies. To have the greatest possible impact in these legal battles, public health agencies and advocates need a clear vision of what public health authority SHOULD be, and why. Act for Public Health, an initiative of several public health law organizations, is developing a framework that defines the powers health agencies need to protect the public's health and promote health equity -- and the guardrails that can prevent law or its implementation from causing harm or contributing to inequities. In this session, we update participants on the current state of legislation and litigation related to health powers in the late COVID era, and then ask participants to critique and improve our draft framework. The framework will guide future work of Act for Public Health and its partners in supporting robust public health systems.
Type: Breakout Session – 60 Minutes
