End Tuberculosis Now Act of 2026

This bill rewrites the section of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 that covers U.S. aid to fight tuberculosis (TB) in other countries. It authorizes the President to provide assistance to prevent, diagnose, treat, and eliminate TB, with priority on diagnosis and treatment, drug-resistant TB, research on new tools and vaccines, and buying quality TB medicines. 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. It requires annual reports to Congress on TB aid and research and a Government Accountability Office evaluation within 4 years. The changes would end on January 1, 2033.
