Creates a new postage stamp to help fund Lyme disease research.
This bill would create a special "Lyme Disease Research Semipostal Stamp" that Americans could buy. The extra money from these stamp sales would go directly to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to fund research into Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. This offers a new way for the public to support efforts to better understand and treat these diseases.
Today, there isn't a specific postage stamp to raise money for Lyme disease research, and the public cannot contribute to this research through stamp purchases. If this bill becomes law, the U.S. Postal Service would sell a special "Lyme Disease Research Semipostal Stamp" for at least six years. The extra money from these sales would go directly to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to fund research into Lyme disease and related tick-borne illnesses.
