On July 2, 2024, President Biden signed the Dr. Emmanuel Bilirakis and Honorable Jennifer Wexton National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act into law. This law calls for an integrated national plan to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure Parkinson’s, ameliorate symptoms, and slow or stop progression.  This plan will include not only Parkinson’s Disease but will also encompass all other neurodegenerative Parkinsonisms, such as multiple system atrophy, corticobasal degeneration, progressive supranuclear palsy, and Parkinson’s-related dementia.   

This National Plan to End Parkinson’s will be developed with input from the Advisory Council on Parkinson’s Research, Care, and Services (ACPRCS), which includes people living with Parkinson’s, caregivers, health care providers, researchers, advocacy organizations, and representatives from federal agencies.
