Federal programs for tick and mosquito diseases would keep going through 2030. State and local health departments would keep getting support to track and fight these illnesses.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 154.
Latest action on S. 2398: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 154.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and communities dealing with tick and mosquito diseases. It also affects the health departments that track cases, test for disease risks, warn the public, and respond to outbreaks. Federal health agencies and outside experts may also feel the change because the bill adjusts who gets consulted in planning.
Why this matters: Tick and mosquito diseases can spread in communities before people realize the risk. This bill would keep federal tracking, research, and response work from expiring after 2025. It could help health departments keep testing ticks and mosquitoes, watching disease cases, and warning the public. The real impact still depends on how much money Congress approves each year.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
