Extends federal programs to fight tick-borne and other insect-spread diseases for five more years.
Current federal programs that address diseases spread by ticks and other insects are set to expire in 2025. This bill would extend these programs for five more years, from the government's budget year 2026 through 2030. It would also make sure the national plan to fight these diseases focuses on improving how we find, report, prevent, and respond to them.
Today, federal programs that address diseases spread by ticks and other insects are authorized through the government's budget year 2025. The national strategy for these diseases currently requires consulting a specific group, the Tick-Borne Disease Working Group. If this bill becomes law, these programs would be extended for five more years, through the government's budget year 2030. The national strategy would also explicitly focus on increasing our ability to identify, report, prevent, and respond to these diseases, and would consult "appropriate individuals" instead of the previously named working group.
