Advocacy Update
New IBD Legislation Introduced in House and Senate
The IBD Research and Awareness Act was introduced May 6th in the House and Senate. This legislation would:
- Express the Sense of Congress that the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease at NIH should expand research on IBD.
- Authorize for five years an IBD Epidemiology Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- Authorize the establishment of a Pediatric IBD Patient Registry at the CDC.
- Authorize the establishment of an IBD Awareness Program at the CDC.
House Bill 2074 - 'Restroom Access Act'
In Massachusetts, the passage of the Restroom Access Act would allow IBD patients immediate access to any retail restroom facility, whether available to the public or not.
We need your help to contact your legislators, both federal and state to advocate passage of both of these bills in order to address the needs of the 1.4 million Americans with IBD. Please contact Craig Comins at ccomins@ccfa.org | 781-449-0324 x 13
