A bill to require the United States Postal Service to sell the Alzheimer's semipostal stamp for 6 additional years.
This bill requires the United States Postal Service to continue selling the Alzheimer's semipostal stamp for an additional six years. The proceeds from these sales will be transferred to the National Institutes of Health at least twice a year to support medical research on Alzheimer's disease. By extending the sale period, the legislation ensures that the public has more time to purchase the stamp and contribute to funding for this specific health research initiative.
