Although federal acts and other similar acts implemented at the state level are fundamental, they do create a challenge of balancing. Such balancing involves the weighing of the public’s right to information, and the risk imposed upon government and national security by providing such information. This paper will explore such balancing imposed by the freedom of information. First, this paper will provide a national overview of FOIA and explore the Federal Open Meetings Law implemented by the federal government of the United States. Additionally, this paper will discuss current outsourcing of information requests and other FOIA policies within the Obama Administration. Second, this paper will examine what policies Texas has implemented in regards to FOIA and also discuss the Texas Public Information Act (TPIA) and the Texas Open Meetings Act (TOMA). Additionally, topics regarding public information in the context of the current legislative session, and the current issues and recent litigation regarding TPIA and TOMA will also be examined.","PeriodicalId":415930,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biosecurity, Biosafety, and Biodefense Law","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122576891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is clearly demonstrated by the events surrounding the 1999 West Nile outbreak. Problems persist in the public health arena—problems that can be addressed to make public health preparedness more effective and efficient than it is today. The West Nile virus seems to advance farther summer, spreading into new areas and infecting more and more people. Changes need to be made to ensure a system is in place that adequately meets the demands of a natural outbreak or biological terrorism event. The current federal system divides the powers of government between roles allocated to the federal government and roles allocated to the state governments. The principles of federalism seem to be somewhat fluid in meeting the current demands of the country. In the past, levels of federal involvement have increased and decreased over the years. However, public health, which has","PeriodicalId":415930,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biosecurity, Biosafety, and Biodefense Law","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125206023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Germ theory is understood by most people to be the culprit behind many of the common ailments we might suffer, such as influenza. In recent years, the world has seen H1N1 Swine Flu, SARS, and in many places even diseases that are more formidable, such as extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB). For years now, moviemakers have sensationalized the potential impact of a pandemic event on the silver screen. Even without those sensationalized theatrical accounts, we are well aware that a pandemic could cripple a national or even the global economy. Given these factors, how can we not prioritize the need for effective public health legislation on a national and international level? This article will explore the overall question of how we can utilize the existing legal structure, or make changes to the existing legal structure from an international perspective, to prevent and control XDR-TB in United States before the extreme measure of quarantine is necessary. In exploring this question, we will first examine the origins and evolution of XDR-TB and then assess the contemporary threat posed by XDR-TB.

This volume continues our journal’s tradition of addressing emerging and important issues within the fields of biosecurity, biosafety, and biodefense law, from a practical as well as a theoretical perspective. The lead article of Volume V, Legislations on Biosecurity: Compliance Challenges for Malaysian Scientists by T.S. Saraswathy Subramaniam, focuses on the biosecurity compliance challenges currently faced by laboratories in Malaysia. The remaining articles selected for Volume V address five subjectmatter areas. The first group of articles addresses the various global approaches to quarantine of disease-harboring individuals. The second group of articles discusses the relationship between federalism and biosecurity law. The third group of articles engages in a comparative analysis of the various legal approaches to biosecurity. The fourth group of articles addresses the processes of attribution and justice (or lack thereof) relating to the use of bioweapons. Finally, the fifth group of articles discusses the application of domestic and foreign biosecurity laws to “mass gathering” situations. This marks the first special section for focus in the Journal, and we are pleased to provide this forum for the first published scholarship concerning the scope of interests of the World Health Organization initiative on mass gatherings. The first section provides contextual and historical information regarding the use of quarantine law to prevent the spread of infectious disease. First, Nadia Haghighatian reviews the historical use of quarantine and examines some of its associated limitations in her article One Hundred Years of Solitude: The Uses and Limitations of Quarantine As a Tool for Maintaining Global Public Health Since Typhoid Mary. Subsequently, Bradley Lewis discusses pre-emptive strategies for the prevention and control of XDR-TB in “An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Quarantine”: National and International Quarantine Laws vs Prevention and Control Measures as Applied to XDR-TB.","PeriodicalId":415930,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biosecurity, Biosafety, and Biodefense Law","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114910624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A calculated attack using a miniscule amount of pathogenic or disease causing substances on the livestock or crops in one rural community can spread to animals and metropolitan regions much farther away long before any response from state or federal veterinary or agricultural organizations. Although there have been no large-scale agroterrorism attacks in the United States, there have been historical precedents for agricultural biological warfare and recent examples of unintentional or accidental spread of pathogens in the food supply that have threatened the health and safety of the public. Along with an ongoing push for preparedness to prevent a biological attack on the U.S. agricultural industry, there is a great deal of uncertainty and conflict among landowners, farmers, analysts, and politicians about what methods should be implemented to safeguard the public. In response to this possible threat, the United States government has implemented legislation that it considers preemptive in its ability to safeguard the food supply and manage the public health and/or biological crime response in a widespread agroterrorist attack scenario. However, this requires cooperation on both the state and federal levels, and of several agencies including the department of Health, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Health and Human Services. This paper examines the steps being taken by the USDA in fulfilling the orders of the federal government in response to the looming threat of agroterrorism and how the TAHC works cooperatively with federal agencies and the private agricultural industry to carry out these regulations.","PeriodicalId":415930,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biosecurity, Biosafety, and Biodefense Law","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122561209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
