senate 03/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We're aiming to enhance public health governance by reforming the CDC, setting term limits for its directors and those at NIH, and limiting the scope of public health authorities. This legislation also seeks to transfer certain functions from the CDC to NIH, requiring congressional approval for public health emergencies, ensuring a focused approach to disease control and prevention.

Seems like the CDC is on a 12-year leash; guess science forgot how to evolve.
