End Tuberculosis Now Act of 2026

This bill rewrites the section of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 that deals with tuberculosis (TB). It authorizes the President to provide foreign aid to prevent, treat, control, and eliminate TB, and lists priorities such as diagnosis and treatment, research on new drugs and vaccines, and support for the Global Drug Facility. It directs the President to set goals for 2027 through 2030, including cutting the TB incidence rate by 80 percent and the death rate by 90 percent from 2015 levels, and providing preventive treatment to 30 million people. The President must send yearly reports to Congress on TB aid and TB research, and the Government Accountability Office must evaluate the programs within 4 years. These changes would end on January 1, 2033.
