What this bill would do

This bill, known as "Ellie's Law," aims to provide for more comprehensive research at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke regarding unruptured intracranial aneurysms. It seeks to fund research that studies a broader patient population diversified by age, sex, and race. The legislation authorizes $20,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030. These funds are intended to remain available through September 30, 2033. Additionally, the Act specifies that these funds must supplement, rather than replace, existing research funding.
