Bill > HR9400

This bill, the Assessing Health Evaluations to Advance Decision-making Act of 2022 (AHEAD Act of 2022), directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to commission a study by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (or another appropriate entity) on the potential benefits of incorporating tools that measure the impacts of proposed federal legislation (including in areas outside of healthcare) on health and health disparities into the legislative process. The study will examine the benefits of such tools, provide recommendations on integrating them into the legislative process, consider how behavioral and nudge research on health disparities can inform these tools, and explore how the tools could be incorporated into the legislative and regulatory processes. The study will also consider the impacts on specific populations, such as racial and ethnic minorities, youth, and individuals with disabilities or involved in the criminal justice system.
