Elijah E. Cummings Family Asthma Act

This bill rewrites the federal law on asthma activities of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It directs the CDC to work with state and local health departments to educate the public about asthma and, within one year, to develop state strategic plans for asthma control. The CDC would collect asthma data, publish yearly figures on asthma rates, deaths, and hospital visits for children and adults, and update its tracking systems, without including information that identifies individuals. The Secretary would report to Congress on federal asthma efforts and recommendations, and the bill authorizes $70 million for fiscal years 2025 through 2029.
