Bill > HR3302

This bill reauthorizes the Healthy Start Initiative, a federal program under the Public Health Service Act that aims to reduce infant mortality and improve maternal and child health outcomes, by extending funding for the program. Specifically, the bill amends Section 330H(e)(1) to authorize $145 million in funding for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030. The Healthy Start Initiative typically supports community-based programs that provide comprehensive services to pregnant women, infants, and families in communities with high infant mortality rates, focusing on areas such as prenatal care, infant health, family support, and health education. By reauthorizing and providing consistent funding for five years, the bill ensures continued support for these critical maternal and child health services across the United States.
