What it does
The bill lets the President spend money to help other countries. It covers diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of tuberculosis. Goals are to cut TB cases by 80% and deaths by 90% by 2030. The bill requires yearly reports on how the program works. The program ends January 1, 2033, unless Congress votes to extend it.
Who it affects
People in countries with high TB rates get help with diagnosis and treatment. U.S. citizens benefit because TB control in other countries reduces global disease spread. The bill does not include plans to fight TB in the United States.
One thing to notice
The bill says the President can spend money on this program. Congress must vote separately to actually give the money.
