Peggy Lillis Clostridioides difficile Inclusion Act

This bill requires the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to add *Clostridioides difficile* (C. diff) infections to the list of nationally notifiable diseases within 180 days of enactment. It mandates that all states, healthcare facilities, and laboratories collect and report standardized data on confirmed C. diff cases - including patient demographics, clinical details, and test results - to the CDC. This change directly affects public health agencies, hospitals, and healthcare providers by requiring them to track and report C. diff cases, aiming to improve nationwide surveillance and address gaps in current reporting that undercount infections and health disparities.
