S 2602 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Limiting CDC to Disease Control Act

S 2602, the "Limiting CDC to Disease Control Act," narrows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) regulatory authority under federal law. It amends Section 361(a) of the Public Health Service Act to restrict the CDC's ability to issue regulations solely to two specific areas: (1) measures already authorized under existing subsections (b) through (d), and (2) inspections, fumigation, or sanitation for infected sources. This directly affects the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), limiting their power to create new disease control regulations beyond these defined methods. The bill does not change existing disease control powers but explicitly restricts future regulatory scope to these two narrow provisions.
