Menendez Cheers Signing of Autism Bill

On the day the legislation had been set to expire, U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) Friday applauded the President’s signing into law the Combating Autism Reauthorization Act (CAA) which authorizes nearly $700 million to fund autism research, training, intervention and other programs. Friday’s ceremony comes after Menendez negotiated a last minute agreement in order to keep the vital autism programs operating for an additional three years.
