H.R. 5724 · 113th Congress

Permanent Investment in Health Research Act of 2014

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 113th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

No cosponsors.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Nov 17, 2014

Permanent Investment in Health Research Act of 2014 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to replace the current authorization of appropriations for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with specified actual appropriations for FY2015-FY2024.

Appropriates $32 billion for FY2015, and for each of FY2016-FY2024 the amount for the preceding fiscal year adjusted by the percentage increase in nominal gross domestic product during the preceding calendar year.

Amends the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act) to add NIH to the list of programs and activities that are exempt from a sequestration. (A sequestration is a process of automatic, usually across-the-board spending reductions under which budgetary resources are permanently canceled to enforce specific budget policy goals.)
