Legislation authored by Nebraska US Congessman Jeff Fortenberry is now law. The Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Act (ACT for ALS) was signed into law Thursday by President Joe Biden.
“It’s been a long, tough road to this miraculous moment, but ACT for ALS is now the law of the land. With this transformative public policy, we can break through faster for those who have suffered so much,” Fortenberry said.
