During and immediately following the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of bills were introduced in state houses limiting the legal powers of public health officials. While most of these bills did not become law, at least 25 states enacted legislation curbing the legal authority of public health officials. Many judicial decisions also pushed back against broad interpretations of public health officials’ legal powers.

In 2023, AJPH issued a special call for articles on the impacts of the 1988 Institute of Medicine (now National Academy of Medicine) report The Future of Public Health (FOPH; https://bit.ly/3uX6l89) and the 2003 follow-up report The Future of the Public’s Health in the 21st Century (FOPH21; https://bit.ly/3vdYent) on contemporary public health practice. We were interested in perspectives on the positive impacts of these reports, as well as the unintended consequences.
