ASCP Endorses Key Public Health Bills

ASCP has provided its support for several bills designed to improve America’s public health infrastructure. ASCP is proud to endorse the Public Health Funding Restoration Act, introduced by Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Representative Doris Matsui (D-CA). The measure would restore the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) to its original $2 billion allocation under the Affordable Care Act.

ASCP is also endorsing the Public Health Infrastructure Saves Lives Act, introduced by Senator Patty Murray (D-WA). The legislation would address chronic underfunding of state, local, tribal and territorial (SLTT) public health infrastructure through a dedicated investment in foundational public health capabilities and workforce.
