Public Policy Overview

APIC Government Affairs staff works with our Public Policy Committee to ensure that legislators and regulators have the best information to help them develop policies that carry out our mission to advance the science and practice of infection prevention and control. We monitor, analyze, and provide input into legislation in the U.S. Congress and in state legislatures, and closely follow and provide input into the work of regulatory agencies. Learn more below.
