2026 Legislative Prospectus Series

ASTHO releases an annual legislative prospectus: a series of policy briefs that provides a high-level overview for public health professionals and policymakers ahead of upcoming legislative sessions. They summarize state and territorial legislation from the past year that impacts public health and identify trends in public health law for the next year. The Legislative Prospectus Series for 2026 focuses on policy developments in healthy food and chronic disease, access to care, infectious disease, behavioral health, and public health funding and administration.
