What this bill does
H.R. 10223, the End Tuberculosis Now Act of 2026, would rewrite the existing tuberculosis (TB) assistance provision in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to update U.S. policy on combating TB globally. It authorizes the President to provide foreign assistance for TB prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and research, with priority given to strengthening health systems, expanding access to diagnostics and treatment (including for drug-resistant TB), supporting vaccine and drug research, and integrating TB programs into broader pandemic-preparedness and primary health care efforts. The bill sets specific goals for 2027–2030, including reducing TB incidence and mortality rates, achieving 90% diagnosis and treatment rates, and providing preventive treatment to 30 million people. It also requires annual reports to Congress on program activities and TB research, plus a Government Accountability Office evaluation after four years. The provision would expire on January 1, 2033.
The bill primarily affects U.S. foreign assistance agencies, partner countries with high TB rates, international health organizations, and populations affected by TB worldwide, including those with drug-resistant forms of the disease. It does not create new domestic programs but directs how existing foreign aid authority is used and reported on.
The bill was introduced in the House on September 2, 2026, and referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. It would need committee consideration, House and Senate passage, and the President’s signature to become law.
