The bill restores and fixes the annual amount available through the Prevention and Public Health Fund at $2,000,000,000 per year beginning in fiscal year 2026 and continuing each year thereafter. It amends the Affordable Care Act’s statutory language that defines the Fund’s annual amount to authorize this permanent funding level.

The funding supports federal, state, and local preventive public health activities—such as disease surveillance and response, immunization programs, tobacco cessation, and other prevention efforts—intended to strengthen public health infrastructure and reduce future disease and pandemic risk.
