(This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the House on June 20, 2006. The summary of that version is repeated here.)
Amends the Public Health Service Act to change the duration of voluntary service that may be accepted from an individual provided by the National Foundation for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to aid or facilitate the work of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from a maximum of two years to until such time as the private funding for such individual ends.
Requires the Foundation to: (1) include an accounting of the use of funds transferred from the CDC to the Foundation in its annual report; and (2) submit such reports to the appropriate congressional committees.
Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make available not less than $500,000 and not more than $1,250,000 to the Foundation each fiscal year and increases the amount authorized to be appropriated for grants for such purpose.
Allows the Director to provide facilities, utilities, and support services to the Foundation upon a determination that such support would be advantageous to CDC programs.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
This bill has been enacted. It is law.
The record's latest action, on July 26, 2006: Became Public Law No: 109-245.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
Johnny Isakson (R-GA) introduced it on March 17, 2005, and 1 member has since signed on as a cosponsor.
They are 1 Republican.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
