To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Public Health Preparendness and Response for fiscal year 2024.

HR 1972 sets a $862.2 million funding limit for the CDC's Public Health Preparedness and Response program during fiscal year 2024. This bill directly restricts the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's spending on pandemic and disease outbreak readiness activities. It does not create new policies or affect specific populations, but instead modifies how existing funds can be used for public health preparedness. The bill is purely procedural, establishing a spending cap through a statutory limit.
