What this amendment would do

SA 6483, also known as the Epidemic Barrier and Outbreak Leadership Act or the EBOLA Act, is an amendment submitted by Mrs. Shaheen to be added to bill S. 4784. Its purpose is to ensure the United States rejoins the World Health Organization (WHO) to protect national security, public health, and economic well-being.

The amendment aims to add a new section (SEC. 1210) to the bill that requires the following:

  • The President and Secretary of State must take steps for the United States to rejoin the WHO within 30 days of the Act's enactment.
  • The United States must immediately work with the WHO to respond to the Ebola Disease outbreak in Central and Eastern Africa.
  • It authorizes the necessary funding to pay for membership obligations and to support WHO and other United Nations efforts to stop the global transmission of the Ebola virus.
