Autism CARES Act of 2019

The Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education and Support (CARES) Act of 2019 reauthorizes and expands the provisions first introduced in the Combating Autism Act of 2006. The Autism CARES Act ensures support for research, services, prevalence tracking, and other government activities. The new legislation increases the annual authorized federal spending on autism efforts to $369.7 million through 2024. New provisions expand the focus of government activities to include the entire lifespan of people on the autism spectrum and require a report to Congress on health and well-being. This legislation also reauthorizes and expands the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), including requirements for additional community stakeholders to serve on the committee.
