It would also support medical researchers, healthcare providers, and public health organizations working on this issue. The bill is named after former U.S.

It was sponsored by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ). Like many bills at this stage, it would need to advance through committee review and gain additional support before potentially being voted on by the Senate.
