The main purpose of the Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act is to extend and enhance federal efforts to combat tick-borne diseases. This legislation aims to continue the work initiated by the original Kay Hagan Tick Act, which focuses on improving public health responses to diseases transmitted by ticks, such as Lyme disease. Key provisions of the Act include reauthorizing existing programs that support a national strategy for addressing vector-borne diseases, which are diseases spread by organisms like ticks.
