Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill adds a new section to the Public Health Service Act directing the CDC to continue and institutionalize its Climate and Health program. It defines program purposes (translating climate science, building decision-support tools, and public-health planning leadership), requires Congressional notification for any successor program or reprogramming, and authorizes $110 million per year beginning FY2026, forbidding the Secretary from transferring those funds to other programs.
Left emphasizes public-health and stable climate adaptation funding.
Relatively narrow public-health funding bill; climate linkage could generate opposition but may attract bipartisan support among public-health-focused members.
