Tenzin Kunor shared this update from the TB Roundtable:
We have very exciting news to share! Today, Rep. Ami Bera and Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, officially introduced the End Tuberculosis Now Act of 2026 in the House. Here is the press release with a link to the text of the bill: https://bera.house.gov/news/press-releases/reps-bera-salazar-reintroduce-bipartisan-legislation-to-eliminate-tb-worldwide
With Senator Todd Young and Senator Jeanne Shaheen having introduced companion legislation in the Senate back in June, the End TB Now Act is now bicameral with strong bipartisan champions in the fight against TB. The House bill was introduced today with seven original, bipartisan co-sponsors, which is a great starting point, but we want that list to be a lot longer. Let’s build on this momentum and reach out to offices asking for members of Congress to co-sponsor.
