On March 20, my bill the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Reauthorization Act of 2024 passed out of the full House Energy & Commerce Committee in bipartisan fashion, advancing to the House floor for full consideration by the House of Representatives.
This important reauthorization bill builds upon the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act, which was first signed into law in 2018. This bill created programming to support the prevention, treatment, and care for patients with Alzheimer’s and related neurological diseases.
Alzheimer's and related dementias affect nearly every family across our nation, and we must do more to help patients and caregivers manage this vicious disease. My bill enables investments in programming to drive early screening and detection, as well as research initiatives to help identify treatments and cures for Alzheimer’s Disease.
The legislation also ensures families and caregivers of those suffering from Alzheimer's have the resources they need to improve the quality of life for patients living with the disease.
I look forward to this key bill being voted on by the full House of Representatives and continuing to help patients and the caregivers treating a family member with Alzheimer's.
