Bill overview
The Public Health Improvement Act significantly alters the structure and authority of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It limits the CDC’s focus to communicable diseases, restricts the terms of its director and advisory committee members, and requires congressional approval for public health emergency renewals. The bill also transfers several CDC offices to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
