This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to award grants to States for implementing a tick identification pilot program . Priority for these grants will be given to States with a higher incidence of reported Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, provided they present an effective plan for program implementation and maintenance. The primary goal of these programs is to allow individuals to electronically submit photo images of ticks they encounter for expert analysis. Upon submission, individuals must include the likely geographic location and physical context of the tick encounter. A qualified professional is then required to respond within 72 hours, providing species identification, an estimate of tick-borne disease risk, and recommendations for best practices, including seeking medical evaluation. The programs must also maintain a database of reported incidents and disseminate educational information on tick avoidance, with the Secretary mandated to collect program data and report findings to Congress annually.
