Bill overview
This bill strengthens the protections for members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a group that advises the government on vaccine recommendations. It prohibits the Secretary of Health and Human Services from terminating a member unless there’s a valid ‘cause’ like incompetence or misconduct, and requires a written explanation for any termination. Furthermore, the bill mandates the immediate reinstatement of all ACIP members to their positions as of June 8, 2025, and requires future appointments to be made from recommendations by the Comptroller General.
