"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.

Click here to urge your Members of Congress to co-sponsor this legislation now. (It’s easy to do–takes less than a minute.)

In 2019, the original Kay Hagan Tick Act authorized Lyme research funding for 5 years. It's now time to renew this important legislation.

Three senators--a Republican, a Democrat, and an Independent--have introduced a bill to do just that."
