Bill > HR3302

This bill reauthorizes the Healthy Start Initiative, which is a federal program aimed at reducing infant mortality and improving maternal and child health, by amending the Public Health Service Act. Specifically, the bill modifies the funding authorization for the program, increasing the annual appropriation to $145 million for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030. The legislation updates the existing statutory language to reflect this new funding level, replacing the previous funding authorization with the new, higher amount. By providing consistent and substantial funding over a five-year period, the bill ensures continued support for programs that address infant health disparities and provide critical health services to mothers and children in vulnerable communities.
