"U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Tina Smith (D-MN) have introduced legislation to reauthorize the Kay Hagan Tick Act,
their landmark legislation to improve research, prevention, diagnostics, and treatment for tick-borne diseases, which became law in 2019.
Senator Angus King (I-ME) joins them as an original co-sponsor. The Kay Hagan Tick Act unites the effort to confront the alarming public health threat posed by Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases.
Senators Collins and Smith named their bill
in honor of former Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) who passed away in 2019, due to complications from tick-borne disease Powassan virus.
