Extends sale of Alzheimer's stamps for 6 more years to fund research

This bill would make sure the special Alzheimer's stamp keeps being sold for six more years. This means people could continue buying the stamp to help fund medical research for Alzheimer's disease. The money raised would go directly to the National Institutes of Health.

What Would Change

Today, the U.S. Postal Service sells a special Alzheimer's stamp, but it could stop selling it at any time. If this bill becomes law, the Postal Service would be required to sell this stamp for an extra six years. All the money raised would go directly to the National Institutes of Health for Alzheimer's research.
