Brooks votes in support of government spending bill | 2019-12-18 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Republican | House | IN | Susan Brooks | B001284 | susanwbrooks.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, DC Congresswoman Susan W. Brooks (R-District 5) voted in favor of a bipartisan spending agreement that includes five of her top priorities and funds the government through Oct. 1, 2020, the remainder of the current fiscal year. This legislation passed the U.S House of Representatives with strong bipartisan support. Congress has the constitutional responsibility to provide certainty to our economy and the American people by keeping the government funded and open, said Rep. Brooks. Although this funding agreement is not ideal, I was successful in securing five of my top priorities. This legislation includes permanently repealing the medical device tax, which was critical to Indiana's medical device manufacturers to ensure medical innovation and job growth. The bill reauthorizes poison control centers, which serve as an important line of defense against opioid overdoses. It increases funding for our nation's Strategic National Stockpile containing critical medical supplies, vaccines, antibiotics and more to ensure America is better prepared and ready for a public health emergency, such as Pandemic Influenza or Ebola. Additionally, this legislation provides continued funding for the Legal Service Corporations, providing financial support for civil legal aid to low-income Americans, and authorizes significant funding for rural broadband buildout, which guarantees better access to internet for all Hoosiers. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
