Full Analysis
The bill was introduced May 2, 2019, passed the House and Senate, and was signed by The President on January 5, 2021. It amends the Public Health Service Act to increase preference for grants under the children's asthma treatment program to states that mandate allergy and asthma management programs in public schools. The bill does not authorize or appropriate new funds; it merely adjusts the criteria for existing grant preferences. The money trail: The grants are part of an existing program, and no new funding is allocated. The structural winners are companies that supply asthma/allergy medications and devices to schools, such as Viatris ($VTRS, EpiPen) and Teva ($TEVA, generic albuterol), but the effect is indirect and likely already priced in. Timeline: The law is fully in effect; no further legislative steps remain.
