Tick and Mosquito Disease Prevention: Program Extension
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- This bill extends the Kay Hagan Tick Act for five more years, keeping federal programs running from 2026 through 2030. It focuses on fighting diseases spread by ticks, mosquitoes, and fleas, such as Lyme disease and West Nile virus.
- The policy continues funding for regional "Centers of Excellence." These centers help scientists and health officials study how these diseases spread and find better ways to stop them before they infect people.
- Local and state health departments will receive ongoing support to improve how they track and report outbreaks. This helps the government respond faster when a specific area sees a spike in tick-borne illnesses.
- By renewing this law, the government aims to create a more unified national strategy. This means different agencies will work together more closely to develop new tests, treatments, and prevention tools for families and outdoor workers.
