Poison Control Centers Reauthorization Act of 2024
This bill extends federal funding for poison control centers through fiscal years 2024-2028, replacing previous funding periods (2020-2024). It directly affects all 55 poison control centers nationwide by ensuring continued operation of the national toll-free number (1-800-222-1222), ongoing public education efforts, and the grant program that supports center infrastructure. The key change is simply extending the authorization period for these existing programs without altering their structure or requirements. This provides stability for centers that handle millions of annual poison exposures and emergency calls.
