Bill > HR5488

This bill seeks to extend funding for the Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI), a federal program that supports diabetes prevention and treatment for Native American and Alaska Native communities. Specifically, the bill amends the Public Health Service Act to provide $160 million annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for the SDPI. The funding will remain available until expended, which means the money can be used beyond the fiscal year in which it is appropriated. The bill is formally titled the "Special Diabetes Program for Indians Reauthorization Act of 2025" and represents a continuation of ongoing federal support for addressing diabetes, a health condition that disproportionately affects Indigenous populations in the United States. By securing consistent funding for five years, the bill aims to maintain and potentially expand critical healthcare services, prevention programs, and treatment options for Native American and Alaska Native communities.
