The bill HR1318 aims to recognize May 2026 as "Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Degeneration Awareness Month." This bill intends to increase public awareness of these rare neurological disorders, encouraging better understanding and support for those affected.

The bill would affect patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and the general public by raising awareness about Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD). Increased awareness can lead to more funding for research, better support systems, and improved care for those suffering from these conditions.

Currently, the bill has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. It was submitted on May 21, 2026, and is at the initial stage of its legislative journey. Moving forward, the committee will review the bill and decide on its next steps, which may include holding hearings or making recommendations for further action.
