S 5326 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Public Health Funding Restoration Act

This bill restores annual funding for the Prevention and Public Health Fund to $2 billion starting in fiscal year 2025. It directly affects federal public health programs by requiring this specific funding level under the Affordable Care Act (Section 4002(b)), replacing previous lower funding amounts. The key provision amends the fund's authorization to mandate $2 billion yearly for evidence-based prevention efforts like immunizations, chronic disease prevention, and pandemic preparedness. This funding supports state, local, tribal, and territorial health departments in implementing community-specific public health programs.
