This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to create a grant program for states to support newborn screening. It provides funding for states to implement screening for conditions on the recommended uniform screening panel.
Sec. 2, Special grants for newborn screening: The Secretary of Health and Human Services must establish a program to give grants to states for timely implementation of newborn screening for conditions on the recommended uniform screening panel. Eligible entities are a state's chief executive officer for health (or designee) or a state governmental agency. They must submit an application describing how they will use the grant funds. The Secretary must submit annual reports to Congress from fiscal year 2027 through 2031, including a state-by-state list of screening implementation, an evaluation of grant effectiveness, and any recommendations. The bill appropriates $35,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2027 through 2031, to remain available until spent, for these grants.
