Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Reauthorization Act of 2026

Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee · Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)

4 August 2026 | Passed Senate with amendment (voice vote)

What's next: To the House (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would extend funding through fiscal year 2031 for federal research and development programs aimed at finding treatments for ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases, including grants from the National Institutes of Health and Food and Drug Administration as well as a public-private partnership supporting drug development. It would also add new requirements for tracking the safety and effectiveness of investigational drugs, ensure timely reporting of clinical trial safety data, require the FDA to publish five-year development plans for neurodegenerative disease treatments every five years, and mandate reports on the program's impact.
