Funding for programs that fight tick-borne diseases would continue, but with some changes.
This bill would continue funding for programs that help fight diseases spread by ticks and other vectors, like mosquitoes. It would set aside money for health departments and research centers from 2026 to 2030, though at slightly lower amounts than before. The bill also changes who gives advice on the national strategy for these diseases.
Today, the law sets aside $10 million annually for a national strategy and research centers, and $20 million annually for health departments, through 2025. A specific working group provides input for the national strategy. After this bill, $8 million annually would be set aside for the national strategy and research centers, and $19 million annually for health departments, from 2026 through 2030. Input for the national strategy would come from "appropriate individuals" instead of a specific working group.
