You took credit for it, but it is meaningless if it isn’t implemented. You are short changing people with disabilities.
Mr. Trump, a year ago you signed the Autism Cares Act into law. September 30, 2019. That law calls for the formation of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (the IACC). Which has yet to be named and start work.
That is clearly your responsibility. Both of you, President Trump and Secretary Azar, both of you. I know, I served previously on the IACC. I was appointed by then Secretary Sebelius.
Six months after signing that bill, you took credit for it. You noted the IACC in your press release.
Last year, I was proud to sign into law legislation reauthorizing the Autism CARES Act, approving more than $1.8 billion in funding over 5 years to research and develop new treatments and therapies, and enhancing support services for those with ASD throughout their entire lives. This legislation also expanded the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee to include representatives from 17 Federal agencies and stakeholders from throughout the autism community. The enhanced public-private partnerships made possible by these efforts are providing support to those with ASD.
It has been another six months and still nothing has been done to form the IACC and push forward the mission of the Autism Cares Act.
I am sincerely grateful that you and Congress put that law into the books. You took credit for it, but it is meaningless if it isn’t implemented. You are short changing people with disabilities.
Mr. Trump, Secretary Azar, select the new IACC. Get them started right away.

“Mr. Trump, a year ago you signed the Autism Cares Act into law.”
No, he didn’t. He simply re-authorised it. Please stop getting inaccurate information from Autism $peaks.
