This bill, the PREEMIE Reauthorization Act of 2023, aims to continue the research and efforts related to preterm labor, delivery, and the care and outcomes of preterm and low birth-weight infants. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Extending the authorization for research on preterm labor and delivery, as well as the care and outcomes of preterm and low birth-weight infants, from fiscal years 2019-2023 to fiscal years 2024-2028. 2. Requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish an interagency working group, within 18 months of the bill's enactment, to collaborate on these issues. 3. Directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to arrange for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a study on the financial costs of premature births, the factors impacting preterm birth rates, and opportunities for earlier detection and support for at-risk pregnancies. The bill seeks to build on the previous PREEMIE Reauthorization Act of 2018 and continue the government's focus on addressing the challenges and improving the outcomes related to preterm births in the United States.
