Introduced July 23, 2025 by Susan Margaret Collins · Last progress July 23, 2025
Reauthorizes and extends two federal public health programs that address vector-borne diseases through 2026–2030 and updates some program wording. The changes apply to the national strategy and regional centers of excellence in vector-borne disease and to enhanced support for state and local health departments, preserving program structures while extending the authorization period for continued federal support.
The bill does not itself appropriate new funds; it updates program language and extends the authorization window so Congress may continue funding these activities in future appropriations cycles. The extension aims to maintain federal coordination, regional research capacity, and enhanced support for health departments working on mosquito-, tick-, and other vector-borne disease prevention and response.
To reauthorize the Kay Hagan Tick Act, and for other purposes.
