The bill would improve how federal, state, and tribal governments work together to monitor and respond to diseases that spread between wildlife and humans, such as bird flu or other animal-borne illnesses. It aims to strengthen disease surveillance systems and create better coordination plans for handling disease outbreaks before they become widespread public health crises. This would affect wildlife agencies, public health officials, Native American tribes, and ultimately the general public by helping prevent disease transmission from animals to people.
