HR 6305 United States House · 118th Congress

Terminate CDC Overreach Act

HR 6305, the Terminate CDC Overreach Act, limits the CDC's authority to issue regulations preventing communicable disease spread. It restricts the CDC to regulations focused solely on interstate transmission prevention (e.g., isolating infected individuals moving between states), requiring Congress to disapprove any broader regulations within 6 days. The bill also mandates that CDC guidance documents with broad public impact must include scientific evidence, such as clinical data or studies. This directly affects the CDC's rulemaking process and requires Congress to actively review and potentially block new CDC health regulations.
