Transparency & AccountabilityTick and mosquito disease programs would be cleared for federal spending through 2030 — no change for you.
Transparency & Accountability
The bill sets the spending approval to run out after 2030. Congress would have to act again to keep these tick and mosquito programs going.
The law now names the Tick-Borne Disease Working Group as a required voice in the federal plan for these diseases. The bill drops that name and lets health officials pick whoever they see as appropriate.
More about this bill
You would notice no change in daily life from this bill. It renews permission for federal spending on tick and mosquito disease programs. That permission ran out after 2025. The new window covers 2026 through 2030. Two programs get the renewal. One pays for a national plan plus regional centers focused on these diseases. Those centers' listed work would now include building the ability to find, report, and stop outbreaks. The other program helps state, local, and tribal health departments do that work. The bill also drops a rule to consult a named federal tick panel. Health officials would consult "appropriate individuals" instead. The House passed the bill on July 20, 2026. The Senate has not voted.
Congressional Summary

These activities include (1) a national strategy, (2) grants for regional centers of excellence, and (3) cooperative agreements with state, local, and tribal health departments to increase capacity for preventing and responding to vector-borne diseases.
