## Summary

**Reauthorizes federal programs to fight tick- and other vector-borne diseases.** It would extend two Public Health Service Act programs through FY2026–FY2030 while setting new annual funding levels and tightening who is referenced in the statute. - National strategy and Regional Centers of Excellence would be reauthorized under Section 317U (42 U.S.C. 247b-23) with an authorized amount of $8 million per year for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030, down from $10 million for FY2021–FY2025. This affects the federal program that coordinates research and regional response capacity. - Enhanced support to assist health departments would be reauthorized under Section 2822(c) (42 U.S.C. 300hh-32(c)) with $19 million per year for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030, down from $20 million previously. This funds grants or assistance that state and local health departments use to address vector-borne threats. - The bill replaces a specific reference to the Tick-Borne Disease Working Group and other named individuals with the broader phrase "appropriate individuals" in the statutory text. This changes who is cited in the law without creating new programs. *Would reduce the authorized annual funding for these two programs compared with the prior authorization levels.*
