Bill > HR3032

This bill, the Jonny Wade Pediatric Cancer Research Act, aims to increase funding for the 10-Year Pediatric Research Initiative Fund by eliminating taxpayer financing of presidential election campaigns. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Terminating the designation of income tax payments for the presidential election campaign fund and transferring the remaining funds to the 10-Year Pediatric Research Initiative Fund. 2. Terminating the Presidential Election Campaign Fund and the account for candidates, with the remaining funds in the campaign fund being transferred to the 10-Year Pediatric Research Initiative Fund. 3. Encouraging the Director of the National Institutes of Health to coordinate and prioritize pediatric cancer and other pediatric disease research, including through the 10-Year Pediatric Research Initiative Fund, and to avoid duplicating existing research activities. The bill's goal is to redirect the funding from presidential election campaigns to support critical pediatric cancer research, which is a leading cause of death by disease in children.
